Zvi, Yes, clamscan has a --max-scantime=#n option, which is measured in milliseconds. Clamscan will check the time limit periodically and abort the scan if the time limit has been exceeded. There is a similar config option for clamd in clamd.conf.
Disclaimer: the limit is not precise as clamscan may be busy decompressing or parsing a file in between checks. It’s useful mostly when scanning large archives and such to abort partway through a long scan. Ideally it would monitor the scan in a watchdog process or something so it could abort the scan more precisely but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.
