If you have a stand-alone system with no networking and presumably no shared
storage (scsi or SAN, by example) then you have to span the air gap manually.
Your isolated system will only be as safe as the last networked system used to
manually span the air gap. A work-around for that is to have a second isolated
system, possibly a virtual machine, that can be used to pre-scan files before
they are transferred to the target machine.

All I'm saying is that, for the admittedly unusual but definitely simpler
situation of an entirely stand-alone, completely non-networked machine,
it
would be nice if there were a solution that was correspondingly simpler.
One that used the file system only, not networking.
The use-case for virus/malware scanning on a networked machine is obvious,
as
is the need to be able to update A/V signatures.
It's not obvious why a machine which is "entirely stand-alone, completely
non-networked"
would require virus scanning or a way to update the A/V signatures.
Granted, the requirement is not as great without a network. But there's
still potential for virus introduction via removable media.
However, if that's
what you want, ...
Not what I want particularly. A requirement imposed upon me.
...fine-- do a manual copy of the A/V signatures into place
via USB stick, CD/DVD image, etc and then restart clamd to reload them.
