You'd need to get your software to do that. Between accepting the upload and doing anything with it, call Clamscan to scan it.

Alternatively, and I don't know if this is possible, I believe some OSs have facilities to monitor a filesystem for changes. If you can get the system to tell you when a new file has been created in your upload directory, then you could scan it then - but of course you may need to wait for the upload to complete.

You're looking for 'inotify'.
