As long as ClamAV loads at least one signature, it will run. For example, you could have a "test.ndb" file that contains the following signature. Then the only thing it will detect is EICAR, but it will load much faster. Eicar-Test-Signature:0:0:58354f2150254041505b345c505a58353428505e2937434329377d2445494341522d5354414e444152442d414e544956495255532d544553542d46494c452124482b482a If you have other test files you choose to use, you could write signatures to alert on those and use those for test cases.
