Got a similar error, but in a different context:

OCA\Files_Antivirus\Status::parseResponse(): Argument #1 ($rawResponse) must be of type string, bool given, called in /data/nextcloud/apps/files_antivirus/lib/Scanner/ExternalClam.php on line 74

NC 29.0.9, files_antivirus 5.6.0

But in my case, the message is "only" ugly, but it shows a real problem with clamav. The $rawResponse is bool "false", but the checked "stream_get_meta_data" timeout in the function shutdownScanner in Scanner/ExternalClam.php is also false (because the clamav daemon segfaulted during scanning :( ). Maybe it will be a good idea, not only to check the timed_out from the metadata, but also direct $response===false there, to check if the fgets fails.

I found the same bug today on another nextcloud :
