How to be sure ClamAV database is up to date?

Question

I am currently having an issue with ClamAV and freshclam on Centos 6.9.

I have the last Clam engine 0.99.2, and a working internet connection. Even if I run the # freshclam -v command ( it only returns a security warning about unsecure permission of freshclam.conf) before a # clamscan, clamAV return me this warning :

LibClamAV Warning: ************************************************** LibClamAV Warning: *** The virus database is older than 7 days. *** LibClamAV Warning: *** Please update it IMMEDIATELY! *** LibClamAV Warning: **************************************************

So my questions are : how can I know when the last update was done ? Or make sure the virus database is up-to-date ?

PS : I've tested the clamscan with eicar test file and it detects it.

Answer 1

clamscan --version shows the version and date of signatures, e.g.

$ clamscan --version
ClamAV 0.101.4/25613/Fri Oct 25 11:00:25 2019

where 25613 is the signatures version and it is followed by the date of the signatures
