It's possible to configure clamonacc in ways which would explain this.
Have you read the documentation?  See for example

https://docs.clamav.net/manual/OnAccess.html?highlight=clamonacc#general-use


Please let us see the output of

clamconf -n

Please cut-and-paste or similar, it's sometimes difficult to divine
what's shown in an email and changes in formatting can be important.

Please tell us more about your application.  In particular we need to
know exactly which user IDs are reading and writing any files.
