Looking again, I agree. The second check was made in /var.
FWIW, AntiVirus is disabled on my RN526x. /var/lib/clamav holds

So after it is turned off, it should be ok delete any subfolders (or other files) in /var/lib/clamav. I'd leave the five files above in the folder.

Well, his big problem is clearly in /lib, not in /var. So I suggest that he repeat the du command in /lib - looking for the subfolder that holds the huge file(s).
DavidTuff - not sure why you attempted a balance. The root partition on your NAS uses the ext file system, not btrfs.
Also, if AntiVirus is running, then disable it from the web ui.
Your errors in du are happening because you ignored the guidance in my earlier link to remount the root partition as /mnt. However, in your case you can simply do a cd /lib and repeat the du. Identify the folder taking the 3 GB of space, navigate into it with cd and repeat the process.
Again, you are looking for a folder (ultimately a few files) that consumes 3 GB of space. Looking in frontview (which used only 30 MB) was a waste of time.

that's right: DavidTuff turn the AV off immediately
