Hello, I have suffered the same problem you describe with clam updates. Finally it worked the upgrade from 0.92.XXX to 0.93.

[root@Carmen ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i clam
clamav-db-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386
clamd-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386
clamav-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386

The problem I had was that at starting the clamd the daemon it crashed claiming something about the database format was incorrect. As you can imagine I have uninstalled clam*; saved the configuration files; updatedb; locate -i clam; yum install clamav-db clamd clamav; re-tunned the conf files, rights, etc...; fresclam; and it is working again.

Hope it helps. Regards,

P.S.: Yes, I do love top-posting if it helps (before some taliban says something to me, the list is to help people. I hope not to be unpolite)

For several days now I've been trying to update clamav from rpmforge
without success.  Does anyone know what's likely to be the problem?

Did you try to manually download it? Several peeps seem to be having a
problem with.
Don't Laugh I stick with what works! Has latest definitions.

rpm -qa | grep clam
clamav-db-0.91.2-1.el5.rf
clamd-0.91.2-1.el5.rf
clamav-0.91.2-1.el5.rf
clamtk-3.08-1.el5.rf

      
I have

clamav-0.92.1-1.el5.rf
clamtk-3.08-1.el5.rf
clamav-devel-0.92.1-1.el5.rf
clamd-0.92.1-1.el5.rf
fuse-clamfs-0.9.1-1.el5.rf
clamav-db-0.92.1-1.el5.rf
clamav-milter-0.92.1-1.el5.rf

yum tells me that an update is ready, but fails due to dependency on 
libclamav.so.3

I'll try to see if I can find it manually.

Is this ok [y/N]: y

I have no prob doing it. Maybe try updating your fuse filesystem first
then you fuse clamfs. Also im not running clamav milter.

Ralph made me do this!!!!!
