See the config file for freshclam. It will pull sigs from where ever you specify. The default is to use the ClamAV signature server farm and are known to the ClamAv team. Checksums are examined.

Others will have to speak to the credentials expected of those volunteers who make up the server farm.

Is there any integrity or authenticity checks within freshclam when it
connects to the clamAV servers to download the virus signature databases?

Also is there any non-repudiation  of the servers hosting the virus
signature databases, that is who gets to be a host and is there any
procedures to ensure those servers hosting the files are secured and the
files genuine?

Sorry for ambiguity I'm just looking for anything, I'm not suggesting
changes if there aren't just need fodder if there are any.

Thanks!
