Apologies for the confusion. We actually merged a fix to the man page, help
output for this option a couple days ago:

That option seems to be missing from the man page entirely:
$ dpkg -l clamav
ii clamav 0.102.1+dfsg-0+deb10u2 amd64 [...]
$ zgrep scantime /usr/share/man/man1/clamscan.1.gz
$
and does not specify units in the --help text:
$ clamscan --help
[...]
--max-scantime=#n Scan time longer than this
will be skipped and assumed clean
[...]
Absent any documentation, I would reasonably assume this to be in
seconds, not milliseconds.
I have no idea if you're wrong about this being the cause, but without
diving into the source, Paul's use of that option looks entirely
reasonable to me.
