Yes, using the clamd API.  Here's a cut-n-paste of me doing exactly
that on our clamd server by connecting to it from my laptop:

8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
laptop3:~$ >>> telnet 192.168.44.7 3313
Trying 192.168.44.7...
Connected to 192.168.44.7.
Escape character is '^]'.
SCAN /home/ged/tempfile
/home/ged/tempfile: OK
Connection closed by foreign host.
