Hello Michael!

Shouldn't the service-file be called "clamd.service" rather than
"clamav.service"? I think the "No such file or directory"-error occurs
simply because the service clamav.service-file cannot be found by
systemd. 

Try "systemctl enable clamd" or "systemctl enable clamd.service"
instead and see if that works.
