[clamav-users] Mac: clamAV vs. Mojave

After installing Mojave I’ve run into two problems:

ERROR: Can't open /private/var/log/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /private/var/log/freshclam.log).

What should the ownership and permission be for the log file and the parent directory?

I have clamav set up to scan my entire home directory. Never received any error messages, but after installing Mojave I get many errors regarding ~/Library, like this:

/Users/mnewman/Library/Application Support/AddressBook: lstat() failed: Operation not permitted. ERROR

What does this mean and how do I fix it?
