About the best you can do is to grab it as a text string when the message is ready to be sent to the mail server. At thius point it should contain the headers your program has added and the assembled MIME format body, The string can then be written to spamc's stdin and its output read from stdout. Run spamc with the -R option: this will cause it to output a formatted report about the message preceeded with a line reading n/m (n=score, m=spam threshhold).
If your mail client is written in Java you're probably using JavaMail. In this case the message will probably have been assembled in a MimeMessage object. When that's complete, i.e. just before you call the Transport.send() method to send the message, call MimeMessage.writeTo(OutputStream) and copy everything read from the OutputStream to spamc's stdin as described above.
