Are you getting this all the time or just once?
If you manually start an update now, what do you get?

Which is your operational system and firewall?

Checked the code, it seems it tries to download servers.def file, but it get downloaded file broken. Are you sure your proxy settings are okay? Try to experiment with them a bit.

Try to experiment with them a bit.
Make sure your browser is not set to "Work Offline" (this option is generally in the File menu). If it doesn't help, try switching the proxy settings from "Auto-detect" to "No proxy" (I'm assuming you're not connecting to the Internet via proxy).

Left click the avast icon > Settings
Update (Basic) > Details > Proxy
