I have a script that finds files that have been modified in the last
N days from a folder and then passes the list to clamscan.

I'm using "cat LIST.txt | xargs -0 clamscan -ir --stdout >> REPORT.txt"

When the scan is finished the report looks like this:

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 396676
Engine version: 0.93.1
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 684
Infected files: 0
Data scanned: 440.22 MB
Time: 51.853 sec (0 m 51 s)

Why are there two summaries?

Because the xargs command in your script ran clamscan twice.

Sometimes when I'm searching for files in multiple folders there is even
more summaries generated.

That's how xargs works. See "man xargs".
