Have you tried:

systemctl enable spice-vdagent.service

I can not duplicate this on a RHEL/clone host running Fedora VMs.  Just out of curiosity, why would you want to run virt-manager inside of a VM?  You aren't doing nested KVM are you?

Just to clarify... you are running the KVM VM on the same machine or a different one and connecting to it via a SPICE client?  You mentioned ssh so I wasn't sure.

TYL,
