trying to install this on a Mac Mini. Works fine on my iMac at work.
Both are on the same Avast account.
This is what I get when I try to update:

Try uninstalling avast! and install it again. See if that works.
Cheers,

--Overview--
This is due to the connection timing out. (curl is existing with code 28)
I set the timeout to 90 seconds and this fixed the problem
--Details--
The file you need to edit is:
/Library/Application Support/Avast/files/Setup/download.sh
To be able to edit this file you need to add read/write permissions to the folders, subfolders and file in this path for the user/group you need.
The line to edit is:
DOWNLOAD="curl -L -s --connect-timeout 5 -f"
Change to:
DOWNLOAD="curl -L -s --connect-timeout 90 -f"
Cheers,
David
