Many thanks to Josh, Gilles, Tamouse and JDD for helping me resolve this

Since PmWiki architecture apparently doesn't permit to automate this process, 
here is how I'm dealing with it:
I manually (via FileZilla) transfer all the files From the PmWiki-wide uploads 
directory to my local C:\public_html\UnTestedUploads directory, where I can use 
my AVG anti-virus program to check out and delete the infected files, then 
process the uninfected files as necessary.
It would be nice to be able to do this automatically, but c'est la vie!
You could setup a batch job on your windows machine to periodically copy your remote uploads directory to your PC. Setup your virus checker to make sure it scans all new files, and auto-deletes/moves infected files. Then the job can simply copy the remaining files back over to the remote uploads directory, removing the existing files.

You could probably automate all this with a backup tool. I'm familiar with SyncBack, and it seems to me that could be setup to perform the copy/sync process, and the virus scanner will process all new files for you. There are no doubt other ways of doing this.
