I think first you need to identify where the problem is, and I'd start
with the configuration of your port scanner(s). Which port scanners
specifically have you tried? How do you have them configured? What port
range?

Alternatively, try running a scan against a couple of targets that you
know to have some vulnerabilities. Choose plugin #10335 (the Nessus TCP
scanner) as your scanner, "extended" as the port range, and TCP SYN
scans (unless you're behind a firewall) for the scanning technique. Does
this produce any results when you run the scan?

Btw, you may also want to think about attending one of the training
classes that Tenable is now offering:
