A bug exists in Warden 5.06 where the new ClamAV 1.4.0 ScanImage and ScanImageFuzzyHash options are being added to the /etc/clamav/clamd.conf but Debian 11 or 12 might only have ClamAV 1.07 installed. 

The Fix is to upgrade ClamAV to 1.4.3

Manually upgrading to ClamAV to 1.4.3 will fix these errors and allow the ClamAV daemon to start again:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade clamav clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam
systemctl restart clamav-daemon
