Re: [clamav-users] Freshclam errors after MacOS Catalina update
If your clamav instance is installed to /opt/local, then your freshclam.conf is probably in /opt/local/etc/freshclam.conf Edit the freshclam.conf file and set the "UpdateLogFile" option to a filepath that your user is allowed to write to. I haven't had this particular issue on my Catalina test machine or personal laptop, but I also haven't done very thorough tests to investigate if we need to change default options or add logic to request permissions in macOS Catalina. It's possible that we may need to make some adjustments as Apple continues to try to lockdown directory access in macOS.
