I also just started receiving hundreds of alert emails saying the exact same thing:
Antivirus scanner found a threat (Doc.Malware.Sagent-6865733-0) in the file /data/xxxxxx. Please delete the infected file soon.
These files have been on my system for 5-10+ years and many have not been accessed for the same amount of time. It's driving my inbox crazy and I triple checked some files. Nothing appears to be suspicious.

Same issue. I actually scanned the files with ClamXAV, which is a macOS frontend for ClamAV, and the files were shown to be clean. So I'm not sure what's going on. But the alerts are driving me a bit mad too.
- GKCanadaFeb 27, 2019AspirantHi again. Good news, yesterday I updated the firmware to my NAS and for 24hrs+ the have been no more alerts. My email is quiet again! As far as I tell, that had been the only change I have made. Firmware update was not significantly, went from 6.9.4 to 6.9.5 (I think). Maybe it has paused and I'll eat me words tonight, but I have given it more than 24hrs and so far so good.

Certainly it was ClamAV's issue. Upgrading the firmware would trigger apt-get updates though, so it could have gotten the new definitions onto the NAS more quickly.
