Sorry.... this is on a windows system. Can I just cat the file list and pipe
it to the windows version of clamscan? I believe it takes stdin?

The problem is that clamscan wants the files or directories passed to it via the command line, not via stdin-- besides which, Windows has a fairly limited max length for the command line. However, if you would like to obtain a working version of find and xargs for Windows, consider installing Cygwin from:

http://www.cygwin.com

This will probably make working with Unix-derived software like ClamAV easier...

Or maybe even better yet, instead of installing cygwin, use the native UNIX tools for Win32 from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/, which includes a native build of xargs and most other UNIX utilities.
