I've done exceedingly little with -- what I'm calling -- (generic) 
ClamAV /scheduling/ engine(s).

My exposure to ClamAV over the last 20 years has almost exclusively been 
as an email server administrator.  As such, my focus has only been from 
the email server's point of view.  Meaning an a mail filter (milter) 
that falls into the "any other clamd client" category.

My understanding is that there is a generic /scheduling/ engine for 
Windows; "ClamWin" or something like that.

I believe that clamdscan can in and of itself be a rudimentary 
/scheduling/ engine.  But as you point out, it has limitations.

I'm not aware of other /scheduling/ engines.  But my ignorance of them 
does not preclude them from existing.

I typically see brute force, scan everything every time, and / or on 
demand scans.  This also parities what I see with more traditional virus 
scanners on Windows.
