Bug description:
  [Impact]

  There appears to be another issue with
  > dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon

  Like in #1792051, the command ends up in an infinite loop, just that
  this time it happens between 'Log file for clamav-daemon' and 'Do you
  want to enable log rotation?', with one more step between also
  included in the loop.

  Purged and reinstalled the package with no effect.

  Effected package: clamav-daemon 0.102.1+dfsg-0ubuntu0.19.10.2 (arm64)

  EDIT: I was able to reproduce the error on a different system (also
  0.102.1+dfsg-0ubuntu0.19.10.2, just amd64 instead)

  [Test Case]

  (1)

  Here's how to reproduce:
  * Deploy Bionic
  * Install clamav clamav-daemon

  (As a debug exercise and confirmation of the infinite loop in action,
  with the use of "export DEBCONF_DEBUG='.*'" one can confirm it.)

  * Perform:
  DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon

  Make sure it completes fine and doesn't enter an infinite loop.

  ---

  (2)

  Run "dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon", make sure all of the debconf
  prompts that are supposed to be there are actually reachable,
  including the one modified by this SRU "LogTime"[0] and
  "LogRotate"[1].

  [0]- Do you want to log time information with each message?
  [1]- Do you want to enable log rotation?

  Here's a test where I intentionally reconfigure the package and set
  both LogTime and LogRotate from 'yes' (true) to 'No' (False).

  # egrep "LogRotate|LogTime" /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
  LogRotate true
  LogTime true

  # dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon
  Replacing config file /etc/clamav/clamd.conf with new version
  Disabling old logrotate script for clamav-daemon

  # egrep "LogRotate|LogTime" /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
  LogRotate false
  LogTime false

  [Regression Potential]

  Right now, the impact is limited to the reconfiguration of the
  package. This is a consequence of the removal of ScanOnAcces (701f0e8e
  Remove ScanOnAccess).

  It's been proven to be working well pre-SRU.

  If a regression is found, it will likely remain limited to the package
  reconfiguration.

  I added another verification to address vorlon's concern found in
  comment #16. See section (2) in [Test Case].
