I installed clamav from the openSUSE repositories. Every few days, the openSUSE update repository offers an updated version of the clamav-database, which I download.
OTOH, I see that freshclam also runs, but the logs say: 08:59 bob@blackbox:~> journalctl -u freshclam -- Logs begin at Wed 2017-07-12 08:57:12 BST, end at Wed 2017-07-12 09:03:00 BST. -- Jul 12 08:57:43 blackbox systemd[1]: Starting Freshclam virus definitions downloader...
