On new cPanel versions If you try to install ClamAV and face problems when trying to run on your server.I tell you , the problem is more easier to fix than you think.
root@host [~]# clamscan -ri /home/*/public_html/ -bash: clamscan: command not found
In cPanel the ClamAV executables are set up in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/. Traditionally symlinks have been designed in /usr/local/bin to help use on the command line. As of 11.40, new ClamAV set ups do not create symlinks in /usr/local/bin. If the symlinks are existing the set up snacks the operation as an “upgrade”, and re-creates them to the path of the set up.
If you are having this issue, and have already set up ClamAV through WHM, examine to ensure that your executables are here:
ls -lah /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/*clam*
If they are available make sure that there are no current ClamAV files in /usr/local/bin:
ls -l /usr/local/bin/*clam*
If both of above check out, you can create symlinks in /usr/local/bin to make scanning your server easier.
ln -s /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/freshclam /usr/local/bin/freshclam ln -s /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/clamscan /usr/local/bin/clamscan ln -s /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/clamd /usr/local/bin/clamd ln -s /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/clamav-config /usr/local/bin/clamav-config
Then you can scan your server’s.
