freshclam AV stops updating on my ReadyNAS
For some reason that I have not figured out on my ReadyNAS 314 ClamAV stops automatically updating.
If I reboot the ReadyNAS it will update for a few days then stop updating
If I ssh to root and run the command "freshclam -v" the ClamAV will update successfully as noted below
This is very similar to post Antivirus stopped updating on my ReadyNAS 316 however this has no clear resolution.
Can anyone help with some advise?

There's a much longer thread on this here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Antivirus-scanner-definition-file-update-failed/td-p/1943198
If you have ssh enabled, you could try manually editing /etc/freshclam.conf as described here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Antivirus-scanner-definition-file-update-failed/m-p/2051207#M190436 It'd be useful to know if it solves the problem.
Hi StephenB
Thanks for the tip!
I have implemented your suggestion
"If you have ssh enabled, you could try manually editing /etc/freshclam.conf as described here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Antivirus-scanner-definition-file-update-failed/m-p/2051207#M190436 It'd be useful to know if it solves the problem."
TestDatabases=false is set in my /etc/freshclam.conf.
I ran freshclam -v after setting the above and it ran successfully as noted below
I have rebooted the ReadyNAS and will now monitor if the change resolves the problem
