ClamAV can scan any type of file. That said, it can unpack certain kinds of archives and scan the files inside. Also, ClamAV signatures can be written for specific kinds of files (PE files, text, etc) and they will only be used for those types.
I haven’t tried increasing the size beyond that so I can’t say. Scanning on network drives incurs the same read penalty that all network drive access does. There is nothing special about scanning that incurs anything additional.
