Preparation

You must mounting your local repo and install epel repo

Installing

# yum install -y epel-release
# yum install -y clamav

Install Clamav

For RHEL 7

# yum install -y epel-release
# yum -y install clamav-server clamav-data clamav-update clamav-filesystem clamav clamav-scanner-systemd clamav-devel clamav-lib clamav-server-systemd

Configure

Backup and config this clamav and configure it

# cp /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf.bak 
# sed -i '/^Example/d' /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf

and uncomment this script at LocalSocket

# vi /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf

....... 
LocalSocket /var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock

For this Anti Virus is up to date you must run command freshclam but config before you run it

# cp /etc/freshclam.conf /etc/freshclam.conf.bak
# sed -i -e "s/^Example/#Example/" /etc/freshclam.conf
# freshcalm

update freshcalm

And setup this service to start and autostart on booting

# systemctl start clamd@scan
# systemctl enable clamd@scan

Trying

try to scan some directory to make sure this service is worked

# clamscan -r --remove /home/kitsake

try scan with clamav

Maybe that's all I can share with you guys, hopefully this article will be useful.
