Hi Biju,
I'm not sure what's going on. Some say it's a memory hog and I noticed
that you have 2Gigs...not sure if that's enough for heavy systems. One
site says to put 'Type = Forking' in the start file, but I did that and
ClamAV failed to start.
I read a site which has the option to Restart on failure (Restart =
on-failure), here's my file with it (in red), I'd try this:
<clamav service>
[Unit]
Description=Clam AntiVirus userspace daemon
Documentation=man:clamd(8) man:clamd.conf(5)
https://www.clamav.net/documents/
Requires=clamav-daemon.socket
# Check for database existence
ConditionPathExistsGlob=/var/lib/clamav/main.{c[vl]d,inc}
ConditionPathExistsGlob=/var/lib/clamav/daily.{c[vl]d,inc}
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/clamd --foreground=true
# Reload the database
ExecReload=/bin/kill -USR2 $MAINPID
StandardOutput=syslog
Restart = on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Also=clamav-daemon.socket
</clamav service>
John Simpson shows how to use it under daemon tools:

In my server clamav-daemon is getting stopped once in a while. What
could be the reason? It is a CentOS 7 VPS with 2 core and 2 Gb RAM. Is
there an option to run clamav-daemon under supervise?
TIA
