1. Open terminal
2. sudo rm /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log or sudo rm -rf /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
Note: You do not need to do both, either will achieve the same outcome
3. enter password if asked
Note: it will look like nothing has changed but it has
4. sudo freshclam
5. enter password if asked
Note: update should start once you press enter
From all my readings of clamav, once freshclam has been run once manually and the db is updated fully, freshclam will run automatically as per the amount of checks noted in the freshclam.conf file so there is no need to manually run it again. I've looked at the log file and it appears this is what happens.
