ClamAV version 0.101.4 is almost certainly no use to you because it's
past EOL and it will be blocked from downloading signature databases.

Check the ClamAV Website for information about ClamAV support:

https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Installing/Packages.html

I believe that ClamAV is packaged in the EPEL repository; I don't know
what version, but I'm sure it will be easier for you to install.  Even
if the package it's a little out of date, at least you would have the
basic layout of the files you need to work with, probably a working
configuration, and the startup scripts would be set up for you.

How long have you been using CentOS?  What do you want to achieve?
