Hello,

unfortunately TS-509 Pro is EOL by QNAP, so they won't release even security
updates:

https://www.qnap.com/en/product/eol.php

Also, unfortunately, QNAP seems only put new ClamAV versions for versions in
"OS and Application Updates and Maintenance", 509 ran out of that in 2017-12.

Also, TS-509 Pro has 1GB of RAM, which is not enough for clamav
(on my system it takes over 1.5GB of RAM).

I'm not sure whether 509 has upgradable RAM (doesn't seem so), but without
it clamav is quite useless there.

freshclam is clamav update, bundled with clamav distribution. QNAP contains
it too. Note that in your case (and mine) it's too old (0.99) and
unsupported, and doesn't support cdiffs.
