The above path...

And this one, differ.

Is that right? Maybe "logwatch" is looking into "/var/log/clam-update/
freshclam.log" and finds nothing :-?

You can make a quick test and try it with the full path:

***
LogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
***

Restart the service and see what happens. Remember to change it after the 
test. 

If that works, just use a custom rule under "/etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/
clam-update.conf" and put any modification there as the docs say.
