Fixed-pattern matching is fast and requires minimal resources via Boyer-Moore and such, but there isn't a quick-and-easy way to do more complicated regex pattern matching without compiling the patterns into a DFA or similar, which does require a fair amount of memory. However, you can run clamd and have it listen on a network socket so that you can run clamdscan from systems with low memory and have the scanning happen on a machine with more resources.
