I hope this is the right place to ask about my issue. How come I am
unable to uninstall clamav-freshclam package from my old Debian stable
machine? I need to uninstall and reinstall it, from scratch, since I am
having problems with it.

You don't have the PidFile variable set and thus the init script doesn't
work.
Adding the following line to /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf should solve
this problem:
PidFile /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid
invoke-rc.d: initscript clamav-freshclam, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing clamav-freshclam (--purge):

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Thank you in advance. :)
You're welcome.
Best regards,
Andreas
