Getting antivirus working involves three main steps
Install the AV tool, in this case ClamAV
Update the virus definitions database
Set up a daily scan
Install
Update virus database

Check the output for any error or advice. For additional configuration options, check the documentation
The easiest way to run this regularly is to use the cron daemon. Create a file /etc/cron.d/clamav-freshclam and add the following content

Daily scan
Speak with your account manager to get the scripts to manage the daily scan and generate an ardexa log to be uploaded to the cloud (clamav-daily-scan and clamav-csv-summary).
Adhoc scan
Scan a file
Scan a directory
