Hello,
How often does the main.cvd file get updated? According to this old
post they have seven changes in two years.

That's very old information. There is no schedule I'm aware of, and
recent updates have been many many months apart.
This will help me troubleshoot any issues with my freshclam
configuration if the file isn’t getting updated in a reasonable time
frame.
I wouldn't bother monitoring the main.cvd since the time frame is
months and there is no schedule. I think daily is updated once a day
currently (usually). If daily is more than a few days old you should
investigate.
It might be more productive to monitor the freshclam log for errors.
