If you keep your existing SystemV scripts and build from source
I don't expect problems with the SystemD bits.
You probably wont get on-access scanning.

Alternatively you could use one of your SLES15 machines as a clamd server
and do your scanning with clamdscan ...

But I would put my effort into restricting the SLES11 machine to local
network access only (or even sneaker-net if you can work with that)
before worrying about clamav.
