Basically, you need just to enable the antivirus feature and check options on dansguardian antivirus tab at gui

You can also try to run freshclam on console to see if clamav is updating fine

change it to clamav and try to restart the service.

On my dansguardians, it's working.

# Run as another user (clamd must be started by root for this option to work)
# Default: don't drop privileges
User clamav

# Initialize supplementary group access (clamd must be started by root).
# Default: no
AllowSupplementaryGroups yes
