This seems to be a mistake, and you are talking about after doing
mount.
But, why do you use /home/sarah as your mount point?
At the same time, I wonder if /home and SecondDrive have different
file systems. Then it makes sense that the clamscan command ignores
SecondDrive.
Perhaps the SecondDrive contains the previous /home/sarah data, so you
set /home/sarah as a mount point.
This should not be done even if the file systems of /home and
SecondDrive are the same. Your system should have a mount point named
/media (or /mnt), which you should use;
$ mkdir /home/sarah/virus
# mount SecondDrive /media
# clamscan -r --infected --move=/home/sarah/virus /media
Best Regards.
