This is systemd telling you it couldn't find the clamav signatures in
/var/lib/clamav. You need to make sure freshclam is running (it's probably
not):
$ systemctl status clamav-freshclam
I expect you'll discover it's dead too. To start it up again, first you need
to reset it's state:
$ sudo systemctl reset-failed clamav-freshclam
Then start it:
$ sudo systemctl start clamav-freshclam
Once the signatures​ are updated, do the same for clamav-daemon.
Since you are administering a systemd system, you probably ought to spend some
time with https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemctl.html.
