Couldnt reproduce on my debian host:

For opensuse tumbleweed better to contact your support to find out which package you are missing to install. probably command could be like this:

sudo zypper install qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-qemu spice spice-client spice-protocol spice-vdagent

Then restart libvirt:

sudo systemctl restart libvirtd

See if it will works out with you.
