i'd more say which you should not scan - filesystems like /proc /dev /sys.

In need to scan whole system, I'd scan only classic filesystems like /,
/var, /home.

it is capable, but:
- on the internet and with linux distributions, they are often quickly fixed

- most of issues are zero-day attacks where anti-virus is rarely useful

I guess 99% of clamav usage is scanning mail, web directories and windows
shares.
