Well, there's the problem. freshclam can't possibly retrieve what your
webserver isn't serving,

So a few days ago it worked. ok.

If I'm reading that the right way round, that won't work. You mean
you've done
ln -s /var/www/daily.cvd /var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd ?
if so, that will not work - you need to the symlinks going the other
way. Freshclam downloads to a tempfile and then moves it over top of
the existing file, clobbering your symlink every time.

Can't you just make /var/lib/clamav your document root for a virtual
host? I don't know boa, so that's an honest question - I'm a happy
apache user, and that's how we do it.
So far, this sounds like 'not a bug', but I'll wait for confirmation
before closing it.
Cheers,
