Have used ClamAv and ClamTK for sometime and they usually had been excellent. Since update to 16.04 ClamTK has stopped offering threat removal and one has to resort to command-line AV scanner.
Wonder if that is a general issue or I need to look for a fix.
Yes, update and upgrade are applied on regular basis.
HI @Al_Salem,
try changing your software sources download location and updating again, it might help?. 
Did many of that and purge reinstall. May be a user account issue.
installed files according to synaptic ClamTK propertie :

/usr/share/pixmaps/clamtk.xpmHi Al,
sorry but that doesn’t really help me at all!. 
Try the following terminal command (Ctrl + Alt + t) and then a restart and see if it helps:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt get remove calmav clamtk && sudo apt-get install clamav clamtk
Tried remove and reinstall as above and am currently on – uname -a $HP-Pavilion-dv2700-Notebook-PC 4.4.0-36-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 11 18:00:59 UTC 2016 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux.
Yet has to use command line clamscan to remove malware. Nonetheless, can use clamtk GUI to update freshclam.
