I'm pretty sure that when the viruses are withing POPFile databases,
they're in a harmless state and cannot be executed.

My suggestion then would be to exclude the POPFile databases from
scanning. All decent anti-virus programs offer the ability to create
file types or folders to be excluded from scanning. It's situations
like yours that such a feature exists.
