For anyone having issues with clamav, I was getting this problem repeatedly.

[root at mail ~]# freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Sat Mar 31 14:03:36 2018
main.cvd is up to date (version: 58, sigs: 4566249, f-level: 60,
builder: sigmgr)
WARNING: getpatch: Can't download daily-24428.cdiff from database.clamav.net

[etc....]

(freshclam normally runs in a cron job.)

This seems to be the solution in case anyone needs it.
