Looking again, I agree. The second check was made in /var.
FWIW, AntiVirus is disabled on my RN526x. /var/lib/clamav holds
drwxr-xr-x 1 clamav clamav 102 Oct 29 23:20 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 298 Jan 27 06:16 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48 Oct 31 2017 antivir.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 754688 Oct 31 2017 bytecode.cld -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42530018 Oct 31 2017 daily.cvd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 307499008 Oct 31 2017 main.cld -rw------- 1 root root 624 Apr 10 2018 mirrors.dat root@NAS:/var/lib/clamav#
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.

Are you sure, that the directory doesn't exist? After you have logged on via SSH you have to type "cd /var/lib/clamav" to change to the directory. Then type "ls -la" to check what the directory includes.
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).
you are wrong: look at his screenshots again. The problem is in the /var/lib directory, not in the /lib. This is the same situation I had yesterday.
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.
that's right: DavidTuff turn the AV off immediately
