Why not insist on a vendor-neutral format, such as pdf? Not everyone can
read MS Word, and there are mutliple versions, which can show very different
results depending on which version of the application they're opened with.

Yes - you could call "clamscan $filename" before deciding whether to store &
forward the file, or you could use one of the standard email-plugin
techniques to filter all outbound email through ClamAV before delivering it.
I think the former would be simpler and the best solution.
