Looking further down the syslog I saw: kernel: [3544249.137987] audit: type=1400 audit(1578844048.198:831): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" profile="/usr/sbin/clamd" name="/var/tmp/clamav-193c3ff1e7ed9bea9a0953339c8480be.tmp" pid=602 comm="clamd" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=121 ouid=121 This was from early this morning after I'd changed the path to the tmp directory to /var/tmp in /etc/clamd.conf to see if it made a difference after restarting the clamav-daemon, which it didn't. Doing some more 'Googling' I came across this Ubuntu bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/1839767 Though it didn't specifically address my problem it gave me an idea. Taking a look at /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.clamd I saw these lines: /tmp/ rw, /tmp/** krw, I added these two lines under those above: /var/tmp rw, /var/tmp/** krw, then ran sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.clamd and restarted the daemon. So far that seems to have fixed the problem. I imagine I wouldn't have had to go through this if I'd made the tmp folder just /tmp since it was already set in the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.clamd file.
