Yes, I tried.
No, it's not a temporary or a network problem.
The error messages/WARNING are the same I already reported.

Anyway I reinstalled everything (using a VM snapshot) from the start two 
time, with the same result. This is the effect of:

root at jessie:~# systemctl stop clamav-freshclam.service
root at jessie:~# freshclam -v
Current working dir is /var/lib/clamav

Update failed. Your network may be down or none of the mirrors listed in 
/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf is working. Check 
http://www.clamav.net/doc/mirrors-faq.html for possible reasons.


If I understand correctly the clamav FAQ the warning:

"WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!"

means that current version of freshclam will always fail to download 
that file.

There is Local version: 0.99 and recommended 0.99.2, so until there is a 
way to relax that restriction, or accept a different minor version, or 
release an updated package, clamav-daemon will break.
