Error : Virus Detected; File not Uploaded! (Clamd is not configured properly.)

Solution : “Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software. Most importantly, the virus database is kept up to date.”

You need to reinstalled clamv on the server.

There are two ways for this one you can reset password for email account if still issue not resolved
take backup of email account remove it from cpanel and restore the back

Then remove test account and recreate it from cpanel
Then copy the test-2 directory in to test
