I don't know anything about ftm files.

This could be a little off topic for this list, but Redhat
clamav has a :

ls -l  /var/clamav/daily.inc/daily.ftm
-rw-r--r-- 1 amavis amavis 5642 May  1  2008 /var/clamav/daily.inc/daily.ftm

Whereas Debian has :

 ls -l /var/lib/clamav/daily.ftm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8098 Nov 16 14:00 /var/lib/clamav/daily.ftm

It looks like the Redhat one isn't getting updated or is cruft
left behind from some upgrade.  Everything under daily.inc
is dated 2008.  I'd think it could be deleted.  On Redhat
there is a daily.cld updated today.  Debian has a dozen or more
files starting with "daily." in /var/lib/clamav.  I do not know why
they are different.  I leave it to the freshclam scripts to manage
this on each platform.

Maybe I can move this discussion to the clamav list?
