The advantage is that clamd can be configured to follow symlinks.

From 'man clamd.conf':

       FollowDirectorySymlinks
              Follow directory symlinks.
              Default: disabled

       FollowFileSymlinks
              Follow regular file symlinks.
              Default: disabled

       MaxDirectoryRecursion NUMBER
              Maximal depth directories are scanned at.
              Default: 15


So I believe (I haven't verified that empirically) that after creating in a directory of choice, symlinks to files to scan, there should be no need to split the list of symlinks into smaller parts. Plain launching clamdscan on that directory should be sufficient.

Okay, I didn't know about that. I assumed that since clamscan couldn't do that, neither could clamd. Thanks.
