Ok I see you are running a perl module interface to clamav 

use Mail::ClamAV qw/:all/;

I'm talking about running the clamscan program itself directly: 
my $results = `clamscan $dir`;

[download]
or something using Tk::Fileevent like: 

my $dir = "/var/spool/mail";
my $program = "/usr/local/bin/clamscan  $dir";
open(SCAN, "$program  2>&1 |") or die "Can't open: $!";
$mw->fileevent(\*SCAN, 'readable', [\&fill_text_widget,$t]);
MainLoop;

sub fill_text_widget {
          my($widget) = @_;

          $_ = <SCAN>;

          $widget->insert('end', $_);
          $widget->yview('end');

}

Its almost always faster to run properly designed c programs when doing alot of file access and reading, so let clamscan do it.
