Use freshclam and set it to poll the virus signature servers twice an hour:

    freshclam --checks=48

That will have substantially the same effect, and you don't have to wait an
arbitrarily long time for someone's mail server to get the message delivered
to you.  If the list has many thousands of subscribers, it could be a while.
