I have been receiving messages in my iPhone X calendar warning me of a potential Malware Virus. The messages have been continuous since last night. The message only repeats itself in the calendar on the date of May 29th. The message is requesting that I click on it to fix the problem. Please advise.

It’s a subscribed calendar, not malware.
Some website offered you notifications, the offer of those notifications was accepted, and the advertising via calendar events resulted.
This is one of many common ways advertisers and scammers operate.
As stated above, unsubscribe to the calendar. Above sequence will work, however it’s probably easier to unsubscribe from the subscribed calendar within the Calendar app—this if you’re running iOS 14. Tap the Calendar button at the bottom of the Calendar app. The color of the subscribed calendar will match the color of the events, making the subscribed calendar of spam easier to identify. Tap the Info button, and scroll down and select the delete button.
