First, the updates are totally separate from the scanning and linting
which is controlled by the setting in MailScanner.conf (have you tried
auto?). The updates are always run if the appropriate binaries can be
found according to virus.scanners.conf.

Have you checked if Clam is up to date with freshclam -V? If so, it
might be a problem with your logging, not the updates themselves. Have
you tried running the update scripts manually to see if they complain?
File permissions?

I also use Clam in daemon mode and get logs like these if it's any help:
