that is too old OS (2013-12-17), containing old and unsupported ClamAV version.

upgrade at least ClamAV to at least 0.100

note that may become unsupported in a while, so newest ClamAV version is
recommended.

However, I recommend you upgrading the OS too, if possible.
Why running such old OS with dozens of security bugs?
