I used

     systemd-cgtop system.slice/freshclam.service

to monitor memory usage. I don't think it is a memory leak either,  
after two days the memory consumption remained steady at about 350 MB.

Since then I have decided that running freshclam as a daemon is  
probably not the best idea anyway and that running it through a timer  
might work just as well, without any memory consumption between updates.
