ClamAV packages

ClamAV antivirus is splitted in several debian packages named clamav, clamav-freshclam and clamav-daemon as stated in debian (jessie) package webpage:

[...] a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon in the clamav-daemon package, a command-line scanner in the clamav package, and a tool for automatic updating via the Internet in the clamav-freshclam package. The programs are based on libclamav, which can be used by other software.

ClamAV daemon auto-start

Auto-start of clamd daemon is fired by /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon script from package clamav-daemon. This gives you two options to disable automatic startup of this daemon:

• Uninstall clamav-daemon package, still keeping clamav and freshclam
  


• Or disable auto-start of the daemon installed by clamav-daemon:

    # disable auto-start

    update-rc.d clamav-daemon disable

    # one-shot startup of the daemon when you want

    service clamav-daemon start

ClamAV daemon notes

Note that reading your needs, I guess you might never want to start clamd (clamav-daemon) which goal is mostly dedicated to mail-server connectivity and on-access file scanning. Anyway, both options above should address your issue. The first option will also save ~1MiB of disk space which is not significant.
