The CVD includes the md5, and a digital signature of it.
libclamav checks the md5 and digital signature of the cvd when loading it.

You can use clamscan --debug, and you should see something like this for
main.cvd:
LibClamAV debug: MD5(.tar.gz) = 4e3fb7ff64c71cd4b79147ac30a382d3
LibClamAV debug: cli_versig: Decoded signature:
4e3fb7ff64c71cd4b79147ac30a382d3
LibClamAV debug: cli_versig: Digital signature is correct.

That needs ClamAV 0.95 (which embeds libtommath), or a ClamAV <0.95
built with libgmp support.
