This is the part of Ugos advice you should pay attention to.
Run
update_virus_scanners
by hand, then check the mail log (to see which scanners it has
detected, and tried to update... For this to work with clamavmodule,
you need a correct entry for clamav in virus.scanners.conf), as well
as the file /tmp/ClamAV.update.log (which holds the output from any,
possibly failed, freshclam runs).

Look at that, and report any errors... if you still need help with this;-)
