Some years ago I had an issue with clamav on LXLE 12.04 not updating. It was down to permissions on the log file.
This was what I wrote at the time - don't know if it helps.

Quote:Noticed one issue - clamav cannot update sigs because the log file directory is missing.
If you run sudo freshclam you get error:-
Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode
As root I created /var/log/clamav, then:-
chown -R clamav:clamav /var/log/clamav
freshclam now updates sigs OK.
