Post install I get this:

Warning! A problem occurred testing the ClamAV server scanner :

ERROR: Could not connect to clamd on LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory

During install, I saw these in the log:

Setting up clamav-base (0.103.7+dfsg-0+deb11u1) …

and

Anyone?

I just did the install you did. I think freshclam is just the signature updates. After the error about locked process you did get a succeeded. Have you looked at the logs in /var/log/clamav yet?
