I've managed to download EICAR test file over SSL connection and nothing happened, I can even double click to run it.

The same thing is happening to me. All shields are active at my end. I am using PPPOE connection.
The following is the direct download link.

I downloaded that file and i right-clicked that file and I manually scanned it by Avast.

Do a repair of avast via add/remove. Follow instructions. After repair has been done, do a system restart.

My avast can detect a threat when I do a manual scan, but it detects nothing when I download and run it.

Ok. I will report this post to admin so an avast member can have a look at it.

When I click on the 'eicar.com' file, the avast icon in the system tray does rotate, showing that real-time scanning is working. However, it detects no threat.

I tried it on a fresh windows install, but the problem still exists.

It seems that the problem does not lie at our end.

Before Avast, Kaspersky was installed. Does it help?

The question now is "How was Kaspersky removed" ???

If so, I think the problem has nothing to do with Kaspersky.

Unless the fresh install came from the original manufacturers image which included a trial of Kaspersky....

I have just installed 360 Total Security, which can detect the threat when I click on the following link: https://secure.eicar.org/eicar.com

Avast is still on my computer but has been disabled.

No, it's on a different HDD, but it's not mine so I can't access it right now. (Actually, I can not be sure it's clean, but there were no antivirus software installed, so i considered it a fresh install. My mistake, sorry.) I removed Kaspersky via add/remove programs, but then the web shield did not work, so I uninstalled everything, used KAV remover, then installed Avast again.
