It is the default setting in mailman:

---8<---
Avoid duplicate copies of messages?

When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a list
message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing
list. Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list;
select No to receive copies.

If the list has member personalized messages enabled, and you elect to
receive copies, every copy will have a X-Mailman-Copy: yes header
added to it.
--->8---

It defaults to 'Yes', so when mailman sees that your subscription
address to the mailinglist is also in the 'to' or 'cc' field, it will
not send a copy from the mailinglist.

In your setup, any duplicates will already be rejected by your
mailserver, so you should set this to 'No' in
https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/options/clamav-users.
