I wouldn't say ClanAV messed up...why did you "fix what wasn't broken"?
Personally, I use an enterprise class OS for servers rather than bleeding
edge.

This a home server used for testing stuff.  It's the place I try and figure
out what works and what doesn't.  As I mentioned, it is actually working but
messed up.  I can always reload the old image and start again if things
really go bad.  Perhaps "ClamAV messed up" is not what was I intended to
say...my system is messed up.
