We will have lots of clamav clients so that’s why I built a private mirror. I’ve resolved the issue. Apparently selinux was preventing the clamd daemon from starting. After disabling it, clamd started fine.

Can you tell us why you need a private mirror? That's not to say that
I think you don't need one, but it isn't the place where a newcomer to
ClamAV would normally start. To be clear, a private mirror will only
usually be needed if you have a large number of machines in a single
network, many or all of which will run ClamAV. By having a copy of
the ClamAV database on each machine (and, more importantly, by keeping
all these individual copies up to date) the many machines might create
an unnecessarily large load - not only on your Internet connection but
also on the (Cloudflare) database servers. Cloudflare might consider
the load abusive, and, if it did, would respond by blocking connection
attempts from your public IP address.
If you're having any difficulty, and you don't actually need a private
mirror, I'd recommend keeping things simpler by getting the database
updates directly to the machines which are running ClamAV.

Can I take it that this command was run on the private mirror server?

Can you tell us *exactly* how you installed ClamAV (a) on your private
mirror server and (b) on any other machines?
