Oops, I misunderstood COMPAT_FREEBSD11 support of kernel with installing misc/compat11 package. And yes, as Milan explained in other message, COMPAT_FREEBSD11 support of kernel is required to run clamav 0.105.0 or later and it is because rust is used to build part of it. I'm suprised if 0.105.1 worked fine without COMPAT_FREEBSD11. --- Yasuhiro Kimura
