according to its specification:
https://documents.westerndigital.com/content/dam/doc-library/en_us/assets/public/wd/product/nas/my_cloud/ex2_ultra/product-overview-my-cloud-expert-series-ex2-ultra.pdf

as this device only has 1GB of RAM, it is not enough to run clamav.
sorry.

there were multiple NAS devices shipped with clamav, however currently 
clamav itself requires about 1.3GB of RAM and you need OS too.

so I recommend you at least 2GB for ocassional use, 4 and more for standard 
use with antivirus
(during database reload, clamav needs twice as much memory, unless you are 
willing to suspend any work while DB reload happens).
