OK.  Kindly clarify whether "uploads" and "downloads" refers to HTTP (web)
access, network filesharing like SMB/CIFS, NFS, etc, or something else?

Certainly-- clamdscan talks with clamd in exactly such a manner, as do
some external things like amavisd.

Hmm, ClamAV can provide that kind of timing for small files.  It takes on the
order of ~100ms per MB for larger files on mildly dated commodity hardware;
note that while the Sun SPARC boxes have great I/O and lots of CPU threads,
each CPU tends to be slow compared to modern Intel/AMD processors.
