After I emptied the directory, and reran freshclam, I rebooted the box. Now clamav is not running
due to this:

Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir(): No supported database files
found in /var/ lib/clamav
Sun Jul 15 19:54:28 2018 -> !Can't open file or directory    [FAILED]
