How to scan multiple directories with clamav

Solution 1:

You have to put the list of folders/files in a text file and pass it to clamscan using -f.

Example:
clamscan -r -z -i --bell --file-list=/home/nav/ClamScanTheseFolders.txt

Solution 2:

DIRTOSCAN="/home /var/spool /bin /sbin";
for S in ${DIRTOSCAN}; do
  clamscan -ri "$S" >> "$LOGFILE";
done
