I have on access scanning configured and we successfully run a script

been found
there are 2 goals (and I accept there may be a different way of
achieving these.)
1) Script are too fast
The files we're scanning get uploaded through a web form
On access scanning checks the file once uploaded
You might do better to just integrate a call to clamdscan (note, not
clamscan, which loads the virus DB on each call) with your upload script
rather than rely on on-access scanning. You're already more or less in
control of when and where files actually get written to your local
filesystem, where on-access scanning is usually intended for situations
more like the conventional AV usage in Windows where files accessed by
many processes with many origins all need to be scanned.
We put a 1 second pause in before checking for the (deleted) file and
this now works. However the file might take longer than 1 second to
scan if its big or the server is busy.
If scan speed is a concern, maybe something AJAXy to send feedback on
the state of the upload (eg "Uploading", "Scanning", "OK"/"Virus found")
rather than just stalling the main script while the scan runs.
