and it can ping the server

Code:
root@mail:~# ping -4 database.clamav.net

checked that it does not have apparmor

Code:
root@mail:~#  apt remove apparmor -y

* which freshclam
this would be helpful as well

also the output of `dpkg -l |grep -i clam`

In any case - I would suggest to upgrade your PMG installation (after we've figured out what's on with clamav on your system):
pmg-api: 6.1-2
is quite outdated - I would suggest to at least upgrade to the latest available version of 6.4 - and if possible also to upgrade to pmg7:

Thank for the reply,

Code:
