Hi!
I install ClamAV on DO Ubuntu bionic VDS:
# apt install clamav clamav-daemon
# service clamav-daemon stop
# freshclam
# service clamav-daemon start
Freshclam updates database successfull:
Tue Mar 3 15:17:58 2020 -> --------------------------------------
Tue Mar 3 15:17:58 2020 -> ClamAV update process started at Tue Mar 3 15:17:58 2020
Tue Mar 3 15:17:58 2020 -> daily database available for update (local version: 25739, remote version: 25740)

Tue Mar 3 15:18:05 2020 -> WARNING: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd through /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory
But ClamAV fails with message in log:
Tue Mar 3 15:45:06 2020 -> Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav
Tue Mar 3 15:45:06 2020 -> Not loading PUA signatures.
Tue Mar 3 15:45:06 2020 -> Bytecode: Security mode set to "TrustSigned".
Tue Mar 3 15:45:14 2020 -> ERROR: Malformed database
Tue Mar 3 15:45:14 2020 -> Closing the main socket.
Could it be that DO package repository and ClamAV DB are not compatible?
# apt-cache policy clamav

SOLVED: addition of 2GB swap solved problem. ClamAV eats much memory:
