Public bug reported:

Except from Package description (Eoan):

"For scanning to work, a virus database is needed. There are two options
for getting it:

 - clamav-freshclam: updates the database from Internet. This is
   recommended with Internet access.

 - clamav-data: for users without Internet access. The package is
   not updated once installed. The clamav-getfiles package allows
   creating custom packages from an Internet-connected computer."


This is causing a lot of problems:

1. clamav-data is not available.

2. clamav-freshclam package is not sufficient. Service fails to update.
Manual attempts cause download but data fails to install.

Cure: install clamav-daemon package.
