Clamav has recently started using Cloudflare to front their signature download page. If you use Python, then the response will be a 403. The text says that it wants cookies to be enabled. Using a web browser works fine to download the AV update package.
>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get("http://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd")
>>> r
<Response [403]>

Thanks for reporting this!
I'll look into workarounds shortly.
