What you are talking about is a REALTIME protection which clam in its 
native form doesnt do.  Also such protections are done at mail SERVER 
stage or at operating system level.  As thunderbird is neither, you 
either have to have it on the client DEVICE as a realtime protection (as 
an AV product installed) or rely on it being implemented at your mail 
server stage (if you are in charge of such things).

If you are a windows user, look up 'clam Sentinel' -  this is a REALTIME 
system based protection based on the Clam project.  (I dont know 
anything about Linux AV realtime protection software).
