Clamtk used to work but suddenly for no reason it stopped working on Ubuntu16.04.3. When I click a folder to scan it just shows "0 files scanned" and zero threats even though I have many files in the folder. It used to work last couple week and it shows there are 23705 antivirus signatures installed already. I have been able to run freshclam by killing freshclam and then running it but still clamtk fails to scan any files.

I solved it using info from freshclam error, "clamd.conf" file not found
sudo apt install clamav-daemon
and then to complete the fix in ClamTK Settings > Update Assistant I had to set it to My computer automatically receives updates and then ClamTK began scanning files again normally.
