Jay, MacOS isn’t the optimum, but you can do most of what you want with third party software. So first of all clamdscan is single process and runs linearly for each clamdscan you run.
Scheduling is fine and works great, I usually run clamscan for those as I know it will run with it’s own process. Exceptions are made in their clamd.conf or command line for clamscan. Where to quarantine is also made at the above. AutoScanning requires a third party application as BSD doesn’t support clamonacc, so I would recommend fswatch: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch <https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch> So depending on your use case, I personally use a clamdscan plist for each user which launches fswatch to run a clamdscan on each user's access to a file on login. You can also schedule a clamscan for specific directories to the whole server on a crontab. My biggest hurdle which I couldn’t figure out was how to notify users when a suspect file was quarantined, as macOS has limitations on who can call the Notification library, but nothing to do with ClamAV. My work around was just writing to file in the the Documents directory, which also Quarantined to a ~/Documents/Quarantine/ directory so if a file simple went missing I would know where it was from and where it went to.
