[ZendTo] ClamAV issue

Howdy!

ZendTo 5.03 on CentOS7.

I had an error reported to me today that showed the following after the file was uploaded and the AV scanning was attempted:

The attempt to virus-scan your drop-off failed.  Please notify the system administrator.

I tried several drop-offs with the same result.  I then started trouble shooting and found that ClamAV is outdated.  Running a freshclam shows this:

ClamAV 0.99.4/26096/Tue Mar  2 05:59:11 2021
[root at files log]# freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Mon Jan  1 18:23:09 2024
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.99.4 Recommended version: 0.103.11

I’ve tried everything I can to fix this, including the following:
Used YUM to remove clamav
Tried installing with YUM with this command: yum -y install clamav-server clamav-data clamav-update clamav-filesystem clamav clamav-scanner-systemd clamav-devel clamav-lib clamav-server-systemd
Updated the repository that kept failing with this (all I could find is the Fedora stuff, I’m running CentOS 7:
yum erase ius-release
rm /etc/yum.repos.d/ius*.repo*
yum install https://repo.ius.io/ius-release-el7.rpm https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

I was then able to install the new ClamAV with this:
yum -y install clamav-server clamav-data clamav-update clamav-filesystem clamav clamav-scanner-systemd clamav-devel clamav-lib clamav-server-systemd

Tried fixing the install with 3-clamav.sh installer script
No dice.  Restored from snapshot and tried running the full installer script and it too couldn’t update ClamAV.

I restored the VM from backup to a copy of the server from 20 days ago.  Worked fine.

Went back to the original VM and now (at least for now) it is working just fine.

I was hoping to just do an in-place upgrade to the latest version (either using the installer or YUM) but those don’t seem to be doing me any good either as far as fixing the ClamAV issue (again, which as of right now is working for some reason).

Thoughts/suggestions??

Thanks!
