Clamav is probably perfectly installed, but Clamav does not necessarily include clamd or clamd.conf, depending on the distribution. In many cases those are found in the clamd RPM. If you have no need for clamd then you can disable the notify reference in freshclam.conf if it exists, or in the cron script that calls freshclam. If you need clamd then install the clamd package.

This advice presumes that clamd has never been installed from source. If it has then there will be no record of it in the RPM/yum database and no guarantee it will interact with your clamav and clamav-db packages.

Various builders create Clamav/Clamd packages that use different user names for the clamav processes. Fedora uses user clam:clam. Others user clamav:clamav. I've never seen Ubuntu so don't know where they put things. For these and other reasons I build my own packages and use smmsp:smmsp to reduce permission/ownership problems. That is the same user that my sendmail and milters run as so it makes things more consistent for me.

Various builders place the Clamav files in different locations - the signatures, for example, are not placed consistently across all Linux distributions. Some place the binaries in /usr/local, others in /usr/. Some don't include RAR support. Anyone's guess about where logs go and who owns them. All of this is important because if you ever change repositories you may end up with a mixed installation.

Learn to build your own packages if you always want predictability.
