\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{DejaVu Serif}
\newfontfamily{\tam}[Script=Tamil]{Lohit Tamil}
\defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase}
\begin{document}
{\tam நலம்} % <-- Changed here

into a file called example.tex and compile it with xelatex:
xelatex example.tex
and you should see it compile without errors and produce PDF output. I
am on a system similar to yours and get no errors.
Also, if you intend to use Tamil script exclusively in a document,
without other scripts, you might wish to set the main font as Tamil and
hence bypass the need to declare {\tam நலம்} each time you use Tamil.
In that case, use:
---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Script=Tamil]{Lohit Tamil}
\begin{document}
நலம்
\end{document}
---
and compile with xelatex.
HTH.
