I guess you could put something together using fetchmail to copy the mailbox to a "scanning" account, fetch the mails from there and pass them through ClamAV, and deliver only the clean ones back to the real mailbox, alternatively there may be something in http://mboxgrep.sourceforge.net which would help out - perhaps use ClamAV to find the names of the attachment files containing the viruses, then use mboxgrep to find the mails containing those attachment names?
