I installed from the online documentation and i'm just not sure how i know it's working.  I try to download the test files from eicar but my local antivirus blocks access right away, is there log or something else i can go to for testing purposes? 
Can i try to download from my phone?

Open a console, cd to /var/log and run grep -i eicar *
