Is easy to use.

Agree totaly!
But whats the alternative to plesk? -
Ionut Bochis commented
Think everyone knows that Plesk dev prioritises allocation of time to make money, but people do expect the software to have some minimum of features added to it, especially when based on software that is free instead of making it a paid addon only.
People that vote for features on this platform, don't vote for Plesk to implement them as a paid feature, but to some extent as a feature of Plesk itself for the value of the monthly fee that they already pay, sure, add a paid version under more advanced features of it.
But having less features in the panel for higher monthly fees, it just means people will start choosing other providers over them.

Although ClamAV alone is a free software available under GPLv2, but development efforts on its integration with Plesk are not. Since Plesk is a commercial software, they prioritize allocation of time for features development by taking into account the possible money income from them.
Since they're already making money from paid antivirus extensions fees commission. You may imagine how they prioritize the developing of alternative feature that is expected to be free / basic and will definitely decrease sales of paid options a lot and cut their income.

You increase the fee this month… 2 Dollars more… so I think you can now integrate this feature, that is free for you, Plesk!

Should be included by default

Antivirus should be an included feature in the normal subscription...

Indeed, everything moving towards cloud pricing packs, open-source OS like Centos died, and Ubuntu introduced a pro subscription.

Ionut Bochis commented
Well, if the trend is right, after 10+ years it will be implemented.. but likely in the cloud pricing pack or something similar, pay per feature is becoming a reality, not sure for what the license is anymore, I guess for bugfixes and small icon re-design.

HA! So they make less money? This will never happen (clearly).

@Tobias they only did it as a result of this idea on here (ClamAV being free) and saw how popular it was. So they did it but then I'm assuming upon realising how popular it would be, monetized it thinking they'd get a cash windfall. Plesk claims on other ideas that they'll only implement something if popular and voted for (conveniently enables them to leave products insecure, lacking or buggy), this idea is one of the oldest and most voted but not implemented so the plus side of this is that it highlights their hypocrisy.

they dont want to implement it as they have a addon sentinel someting that has clamav in it and if they implement it then the addon will prob lose ppl.. so i think its sadly a business thing.

How many votes does Plesk need to implement it...?

Although I don't expect this request to be achieved (because it has been here since 2016), I have found this link on the Plesk Support site:

QuestionIs it possible to use ClamAV with Plesk?
Answer
ClamAV antivirus standalone installation is not supported by Plesk.
The feature is yet to be implemented in Plesk, take part in our product improvement by referring to this link.
The top-ranked suggestions are likely to be included in the next versions of Plesk.
"""Maybe we can still "patiently wait" for it, but I have lost any faith by now...

I think they've given up on implementing this for free as they've released the "Plesk Email Security" extension which allows you to use ClamAV https://www.plesk.com/extensions/email-security/ for a montly fee, sad everything needs to be monetized nowadays.

Been waiting too long for this very important feature with no response from plesk.

Warum dauert es so lange dieses WICHTIGE Modul zu integrieren?
Ich denke PLESK kostet so auch schon genug da wäre doch einiges mehr machbar -
Stephan Brodkorb commented
Please add this feature. Thank you!

They don't care about the users, they only care about the money, 9 years of people asking show this without a doubt. Shame on you Plesk. Maybe it is time to move to another company.
