I wudnt even touch it when clamav now comes with cloud based security.

i thought clamav cannot 'remove' virus but can only detect them?

Clam AntiVirus

... It is designed to provide the ClamAV community with a Windows Anti-Virus (AV) solution incorporating all the standard desktop AV features one would expect from any commercial package. This includes; On Access scanning, On Demand scanning, Quarantine, and Removal. ...

Linux does not have a single virus?

If it removed viruses on the Linux platform, it would come handy to clean Windows partitions!
