First, don't start a new thread by replying to an existing one and changing the subject. You break threading and your email will likely be ignored by anyone not reading that thread. Just start a new message.
Second, that would do what you want, but don't do it. You will hit the clamav server at the top of the hour along with a lot of other people who don't read the docs. It causes the bandwith utilization on the mirrors to spike at the top of the hour. It may be better if you have setup freshclam to use the new DNS method, but you still shouldn't do it.
You should either run freshclam from your /etc/crontab and set it to run at an oddball times (e.g. 37mins past the hour) or run it as a daemon. There was a thread a while back about generating a random number in the crontab so that it does not run at the same time every hour. You may want to try that.
