You could run FreshClam on a computer that is connected to the Internet,
and periodically copy the CVD files over to the air-gapped computer,
just as you would have done before.

The difference is that before you'd download the CVD files manually and
then copy them, now you'll use FreshClam and copy them.

Except they will be CLD most of the time when using freshclam.
