Firstly, note that Nagios will usually only record an entry in the log
if the status has changed.  Did you check the status of the service
and see what the last check time was?

If you only want one check at a specific time once a week, then
personally I would configure a script to run the check in cron and
send a passive check result to Nagios.    It's maybe a bit of a pain
to learn how to do it the first time but a very useful technique for
all sorts of things.
