Nutty I may be :-) but scanning selectively is fine for a few machines but what if you have fifty machines with varying configurations. This approach would mean an extra administrative overhead to guarantee all machines do a correct full scan without scanning files multiple times because they are NFS mounted. Selectively scanning would also allow area's on file systems to be missed if someone creates a new directory that is not included on the scan list. Having the ability to exclude directories or limit to local file systems, you could run a simple common script with clamscan -r / --exclude-dir's, that would guarantee to scan all your files across all your machines while missing out problem directories.
