My use-case is this:

I have very good protection via Crowdstrike Falcon Sensor, but that only 
deletes/quarantines files based on known IOCs, high malicious scores, or 
behavior via machine-learning.  Otherwise it still blocks processes considered 
suspicious and/or due custom IOA.  The downside is that some files are left 
behind.  What we have used in the interim to do post-alert cleanup is download 
the trial version of MalwareBytes for Mac, install, scan, then remove 
MalwareBytes.

I want to automate the scanning of an endpoint using ClamAV but without 
permanently installing ClamAV.  In Windows I can simply copy the ClamAV files 
to a temp location and then initiate the scan command line with the desired 
parameters like Update, Full Scan, Logging, etc.  After the scan completes the 
temp directory is deleted.  I'm sure we can do the same with ClamAV on the Mac 
but I have not seen any references to it being done yet.  In documentation it 
mentions the compiling of the code which I am thinking I can leverage to create 
a single package to accomplish what I need but I am not fluent enough in 
linux/unix to test.  As an example, I was able to successfully create a 
stand-alone MalwareBytes Enterprise scanner but that is not free and very 
expensive so we did not want to purchase to only use it sparingly.

The permanent installation of a scanner is NOT required and proved out a few 
times.  Does anyone here have an idea, lead, or suggestion of how I can 
accomplish this on a Mac?  Thanks in advance.
