Wel, if it's passive mode thats causing the problems find this line in
f-prot-autoupdate  (usually in /usr/lib/MailScanner)

  $r = system("wget --passive-ftp --tries=3 $ip$filename > /dev/null
2>&1");


and change it to

  $r = system("wget --tries=3 $ip$filename > /dev/null 2>&1");

and see it that helps
