Here, your problem i that the modules fail testing, and that subsequently
don't install due to failing testing.

The reason for it is probable either:

a) Your system ClamAV is no longer compatible with the ClamAV module
b) The ClamAV module is no longer compatible with some dependency
c) The ClamAV module is no longer compatible with perl

Unfortunately, all of these mean the solution to your problem will be
specific to the module, not a general problem with Perl Module installation.

1. The ClamAV module hasn't seen maintenance since 2009.
2. However, the good news is there are some passes on recent perls (
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=File-Scan-ClamAV+1.91 ), indicating its
more likely to be a ClamAV/Dependency issue.
3. There are however, 7 open bugs
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=File-Scan-ClamAV
4. This bug suggests indeed, that the ClamAV API has been changed, and the
module has not been updated to adjust
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=54205
5. .... which suggests you may want to try installing an older version of
ClamAV such as ClamAV-0.93  and see if that helps
