Hi Nozomi,
The following commands will tell you the user/group information for
user=1000, group=1000 (as per the error message):
grep ":1000:" /etc/passwd
grep ":1000:" /etc/group
This will give you text name of the user/group that /var/lib/clamav
should be set to.
You can change the user/group to the correct versions using 'chown' or
'chgrp' commands without using the names:
Both:
sudo chown 1000:1000 /var/lib/clamav
User Only:
sudo chown 1000 /var/lib/clamav
Group Only:
sudo chgrp 1000 /var/lib/clamav
Set the permissions to 0775:
sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/clamav
Get information on the directory owner/group and permissions:
ls -ld /var/lib/clamav
I hope this helps you get further.
Regards
Mark.

Thank you for your reply.
I tried creating a vscan service account and changing the owner as you
suggested,
The result of running freshclam did not change.
# ls -l /var/lib/
drwxr-xr-x 1 vscan vscan 4096 Aug 7 15:59 clamav
# freshclam

Sorry, this is not an answer.
How about this?
# chown vscan /var/lib/clamav
The only problem is the permissions.
