Cannot start clamd on new installation on CentOS 7

Virtualmin
1

I just finished a new installation of Virtualmin on a CentOS 7 server and the only thing I cannot get to work is Clamav via clamd. These are the clamav packages installed via the virtualmin script:

clamav-data-0.98.5-1.el7.centos.vm.noarch
clamav-server-0.98.5-1.el7.centos.vm.x86_64
clamav-lib-0.98.5-1.el7.centos.vm.x86_64
clamav-0.98.5-1.el7.centos.vm.x86_64
clamav-server-systemd-0.98.5-1.el7.centos.vm.noarch
clamav-filesystem-0.98.5-1.el7.centos.vm.noarch
clamav-update-0.98.5-1.el7.centos.vm.x86_64

In the Spam and Virus Scanning section of Virtualmin there is a “Enable Clamav Server” button which claims to configure and start the service but it never does (pressed it many times already). I cannot start clamd manually either. From what I can see there is no clamd.conf file included with the RPMs. Am I missing a step to enable clamd?

I have the same problem as described above. Still no solution?

Virtualmin have a bug and is unable to start ClamAV plus “clamd@scan.service” is not set to start at boot. This problems should be fixed in next Vmin release but to immediately enable ClamAV use SSH and “systemctl start clamd@scan”. Now when you have ClamAV running you will need to enable at server reboot. The easiest way is to go to Wmin - Bootup and Shutdown and enable “Start at boot time?” in “clamd@scan.service”.
