On the Mac AV is also run when disks are mounted. I don't have portable disks on my Windows machines (USB/Fire Wire, eSATA, etc) but it is likely the same.
My primary example is the Time Machine disk and it is normally off as it is a Stripe RAID of 5 disks and would cost too much to have mounted all the time (power/heat). When ever I power it on AV starts a scan of the 7.5 TB (which I kill), but, would last for several hours ...
