I noticed /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf didn't exist so I did a "cp
/var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-freshclam.config /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf"
and added "PidFile /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid" line to the bottom of
the copied file. However, it still failed with a new error:
# apt-get purge clamav-freshclam

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.

[FAIL] freshclam: Can not continue with PidFile not set ... failed!
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.
