Best performance: use clamd or calmavmodule.  The first depends on you setting
up and running clamd, also to be careful with permissions/ownership of the
incoming directory; the last one doesn't need anything else (other than updating
the databases with freshclam or the script provided by MS).

Clamscan is the worst choice, clamdscan is used by the "clamd" option in the
version you are using, direct communication with clamd is being used in the next
version (4.61.1).
