no - nothing on the system will change the clamav database any longer

nonsense - to provide is perfectly OK but not to require, see my 
previous post how it is solved on Fedora

freshclam is a cronjob

bullshit proven by running multiple clamd services over a long time as 
well as freshclam with a systemd unit - you just have no clue about 
systemd, that's all
