ClamAV is not specifically designed to be a host-based AV although you
can use it as such. If you want a ClamAV solution specially designed
to run on end systems, check out ClamAV for Windows:

Technically speaking, ClamAV is open-source. However, we do not
provide the code for ClamAV for Windows, therefore ClamAV for Windows
is close-source just like the other AV solutions you mentioned.

needs, you will have to decide that

I rebooted and installed ClamAV for Windows. I have a couple of questions:
1. Unless I missed it, the UI only allows scanning stuff in RAM, not files
on hard-disks. If this is correct, does it mean users are expected to also
install ClamWin to scan hard-disks?
2. Based on the input above,
