the documentation you linked tells you for `debian` installations:

> The installer automatically creates default configuration files and launches the `clamd` and `freshclam` daemons. You don’t have to do anything more

so you won’t need to enable and start them (again). those commands are apparently only needed for RH7, centOS7.

though it claims:

> it’s a good idea to review the ClamAV documentation and your settings in `/etc/clamav/`

as for your 2nd question:

i think downloading the app from your appstore would do the job.

ok so far ok, merci @JimmyKater

i am able to find the logging information but not like on the manuel to configure something

Antivirus for files 1.4.0 and Enabled  
Next, go to your Nextcloud Admin page and set your Nextcloud logging level to Everything.

</div>

so where is your `nextcloud admin page`? most probably it’s somewhere on the left side of your screen in your setup-page from your admin-account.

ya?
