I don’t use ClamAV, but I’ll bet it runs as a non-root user. In CentOS
7, only root can write to /var/log.
You should create a clamav directory under /var/log and give the ClamAV
user write access to it, then configure ClamAV to write its logs there.
That, or switch to syslog or similar, if ClamAV allows it.

Waren,
That solved the problem, I created a subdirectory in /var/log as clamd
and changed /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf.
I was not aware that only root can write to /var/log
Thanks again!!!
