Details

The freshclam systemd service file (clamav-freshclam.service) contains no network-online dependency, causing freshclam to be started before the network is online. This in turn causes the first virus database update to fail.

To solve the problem, the following lines should be added to the [Unit] section of clamav-freshclam.service:
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

Note that users should enable their network manager's wait-online service (e.g. netctl-wait-online.service) for this solution to work.

clamam-freshclam.service comes from upstream https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-devel/blob/master/freshclam/clamav-freshclam.service.in
Ideally upstream should make such changes to the service file or perhaps adjust freshclam to use kernel routing table changes as a signal to retry.

I already did report it upstream a few weeks ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet.
