Flat Modulemodule and Torsiontorsion-Free Module free module

All rings in this question are integral.

It is known that flat modules are torsion-free. Conversely, torsion-free modules over Prüfer domain (in particular, Dedekind domain) are flat, please see here. My questions are:

  • Is there a general condition under which a torsion free module is flat?
  • What is the simplest example of torsion-free non-flat module?

editEdit: Since the example in Georges's answer is the coordinate ring of a singular curve, I want to ask the same questions for the coordinate ring $R$ of a smooth algebraic variety:

  • Is there a general condition under which a torsion free module over $R$ is flat?
  • What is the simplest example of torsion-free non-flat module over $R$?
  • what is the simplest example of torsion-free non-flat module over $R$

Fixed typos, since it was on the front-page anyway.
