I don't know of a way off the top of my head to do this on the system
running guacd. I can't remember exactly, but I don't think that the drive
redirection mechanism on Guacamole drops the file temporarily anywhere - it
just facilitates the connection of the channel between the browser and the
RDP server. So, you'd really have to run the AV software on the remote
server.

It might be possible at some point in the future to put good into guacd
that would allow the data to be inspected by AV software (or even DLP), but
I would imagine that implementing that is non-trivial, and also likely
depends heavily on the AV software in use and how it functions in order to
actually implement it. I'm not sure how feasible it would be to create a
generic interface for that.

Yes, you could certainly do this. I think the biggest thing you'd have to
deal with in this scenario is making sure the proper certificate trust is
in place so that the firewall can inspect the data. I've not personally
implemented this type of deep packet inspection, but I've worked at places
that do it.
