In Debian I found the update file using the command "apt-cache search clamav" to look for all the installation and update files relative to clamav. I found this one:
clamav-freshclam - downloads clamav virus databases from the Internet
and installed it. Updated to 0.85 in short order. I ran freshclam and also found 5 viruses. I couldn't run down the infected files from the output but found the scan.log file in root's home directory and discovered this:
Scan started: Thu Jun 9 12:26:09 2005
//usr/share/clamav-testfiles/clam.cab: ClamAV-Test-File FOUND
//usr/share/clamav-testfiles/clam.exe.bz2: ClamAV-Test-File FOUND
//usr/share/clamav-testfiles/clam.exe: ClamAV-Test-File FOUND
//usr/share/clamav-testfiles/clam.rar: ClamAV-Test-File FOUND
//usr/share/clamav-testfiles/clam.zip: ClamAV-Test-File FOUND
Naturally, I was releaved to find out the "infection" was only the test files.
