You're likely doing security wrong. But I'm keeping relatively quiet, as requested.
Please read up on how to set a partition noexec, use AppArmor, firewall, how to keep things patched, hardened and actual security measures if you want to protect the server. Also make sure not only fail2ban is working but every login on exposed software on that server is protected against brute force. ClamAV and similar are to protect your windows clients of your mail and storage server. They will not help with linux viruses. And you got to protect your servers against security vulnerabilities, not malware. The server won't randomly execute an executable file on its harddrive on its own. Think about how did that malware get there in the first place. And why is the file executable... Don't be offended, you can install whatever you want, including ClamAV, just make sure you did the 95% of protection first if security is your concern.
