ClamAV docker & GKE deployment error connection ECONNREFUSED when I run docker image - node.js

Question

I am trying to build a ClamAV malware scanner docker image that runs on a squid proxy and I get:
!NotifyClamd: Can't connect to clamd on 127.0.0.1:3310: Connection refused
and error:
connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3310
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1158:16) {
errno: -111,
code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
syscall: 'connect',
address: '127.0.0.1',
port: 3310 }
Stopping ClamAV daemon:
clamd.
Clamav signatures not found in /var/lib/clamav ... failed!
Please retrieve them using freshclam ... failed!
Then run 'invoke-rc.d clamav-daemon start' ... failed!
This is my dockerfile :
FROM node:17.6.0-bullseye-slim

# Set up app
RUN npm config set python $(which python3) && \
npm install
# Run the rest as the node user
USER 1000
CMD ["/bin/bash", "bootstrap.sh"]
and this is bootstrap.sh :
#!/bin/bash
sudo service clamav-freshclam stop && \
sudo freshclam && \
sudo service clamav-freshclam start && \
sudo service clamav-daemon force-reload && \
npm start
It fails when I docker run it OR when I deploy it on a GKE cluster,
all IPs required are whitelisted on the squid.
