ClamAV is catching files with viruses. Great!
But, the messages it's generating are quite misleading.
====================================================================
The system message (in inbox) it generates is:

Subject: ePortfolios :: ClamAV notification
ClamAV has failed to run. The return error message was An error occurred. Here
is the output from ClamAV:
ERROR: Can't access file

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 0
Total errors: 1

The file has been moved to a quarantine directory.

When in fact, it did catch the file and quarantined it:

20180309132649-user-0-infected
====================================================================
And, in the error log file, the following is logged:
Mar 9 13:26:50 0c200fda6b66 mahara: 2018/03/09 13:26:50 [error] 195#195:

Which says "Your administrator has enabled virus checking for file uploads
but has misconfigured something" (and this is what appears to the user).
But, the virus checking is not misconfigured. It's actually working.
====================================================================
1. The message displayed to the user needs to reflect the correct
activity - that their file has been a virus and that they really
should not try to upload it at a later time.
2. The message logged in the log file should include the new (updated)
message from 1.
3. The SCAN SUMMARY is also incorrect. 'Infected files' is 0 and
'Total errors' is 1. When it should be the other way around.
