This doesn't seem like a difficult problem for clamav to solve -- clamd is asked to scan the file system and it creates temp files to accomplish this

I know I'm mainly a win user... So sorry in advance... but if you created a Linux ram drive... Pointed clamav temp files to the ram drive... Would that get around the issue... 

https://www.linuxbabe.com/command-line/create-ramdisk-linux/amp

Clamd.conf... 

# Optional path to the global temporary directory.

   77 # Default: system specific (usually /tmp or /var/tmp).
   78 #TemporaryDirectory /var/tmp

So when clamav scans ... its temporary files are in the ram disc.
