This is HTTP only, but ...

some providers use a very strange proxy in between -- do you also have access to
some wired connection, and could you retry from that one?

This -- which -- thing with clamav-data? Here on my systems I have a 2 MB file
that is downloaded daily, so it still makes 60MB, of course.

As Stephen already said: You currently seem to be the only one to experience
such problems, so we need to ask you to investigate further, e.g., using
tcpdump.
