How can we invoke  clamd from java if not the API? 

The app that uses clamd will be deployed on the same unix machine. Will I have 
problem with firewall even then? Should I ask admin to open the port so that 
users access the app?

If the virus is found will it delete the file other than response? If not how 
should I take care of it myself?

Thanks
Madhuri

Yes.

As far as clamav is concerned, no.
However if you are connecting to clamd from a remote machine, and have a
firewall, that might prevent the connection.

Not necessarily, you can have both a UNIX and TCP socket.

I never used the Java bindings.
