Better, I think, is to start with what processes can lock the log file. Logrotate being one such. It is a small matter to disable this and wait and see.

It is possible that multiple freshclam instances are running at the same
time, especially if an instance of freshclam is running as a daemon.

On Linux, you can use a command such as "lsof | grep freshclam.log" to
identify what process is locking a freshclam.log.
