Have you tried '#!/bin/sh' ?
That's my shebang line.
Have you tried single quotes?
Wouldn't want to. Single quotes alter the behaviour.
Double quotes, single quotes, and no quotes have the same behavior on my
machine:

$ cat debian-user-20200920-1727-gary-dale.sh
#!/bin/sh
doublequote="/root/clamscan-report"
echo $doublequote
singlequote='/root/clamscan-report'
echo $singlequote
noquote='/root/clamscan-report'
echo $noquote

$ /bin/sh -x debian-user-20200920-1727-gary-dale.sh
+ doublequote=/root/clamscan-report
+ echo /root/clamscan-report
/root/clamscan-report
+ singlequote=/root/clamscan-report
+ echo /root/clamscan-report
/root/clamscan-report
+ noquote=/root/clamscan-report
