Perhaps he is thinking of the case where all various clamscan write to the same 
file?

Thanks for all the answers.

Does anybody have experience with (or even a ready script for) 'GNU parallel' ?
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/GNU-Parallel.html
ls -d bin/* | parallel clamscan
looks easy but logging may be difficult in this case too.

Are there plans to put multithreading to clamscan too?
