So I re-installed it, used sudo freshclam and what i got was this: pastebin.com/kh9Q1h3K Is there anyway that warning is fixed? I'm asking because I can't seem to install it from the tar.gz file of the home page. I will leave this as solved and wait for the repositories, thank you all. [SOLVED]

I seem to remember getting this issue when I first started using clamav, going back through my notes I found I had written this:
First find out my uid and gid by typing at the command prompt: id your_username
Should give you a long line of text with a uid and gid in it somewhere, then type:
sudo chown UID.GID /var/lib/clamav
then
sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/clamav
Change UID and GID with the values you got from the id Command above.
hope that helps

So I re-installed it, used sudo freshclam and what i got was this: pastebin.com/kh9Q1h3K Is there anyway that warning is fixed? I'm asking because I can't seem to install it from the tar.gz file of the home page. I will leave this as solved and wait for the repositories, thank you all. [SOLVED]
