I guess I'm not 100% sure. Which would I need/which would increase security?

ClamAV is an anti-virus software that you would run on end-devices to scan files, an intrusion detection scans network traffic to detect anything potentially malicious. I don't know your exact router model but I suspect it's way too weak to run intrusion detection. If you have a switch that's capable of mirroring you could use that to utilize a more powerful machine to scan network traffic.

Ah gotcha. Makes sense. Would something like WatchYourLAN or Pi.Alert be good?

It's a good way to see if someone has cracked your WiFi password for example so why not. Doesn't add much security but better than nothing.
