Simple ClamAV Java client. See also ClamAV REST service which builds on top of this.

Travis CI:

Support for basic INSTREAM scanning and PING command.

Clamd protocol is explained here: http://linux.die.net/man/8/clamd

A REST style API and server can be found from another repository, clamav-rest.

Code is self explanatory. Something like this is the idea:

  ClamAVClient cl = new ClamAVClient("192.168.50.72", 3310);
  byte[] reply;
  try {
    reply = cl.scan(input);
  } catch (Exception e) {
    throw new RuntimeException("Could not scan the input", e);
  }
  if (!ClamAVClient.isCleanReply(reply)) {
   throw new Exception("aaargh. Something was found");
  }

<dependency>
  <groupId>fi.solita.clamav</groupId>
  <artifactId>clamav-client</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>

mvn install

To run the automated tests you are assumed to run the clamd in a local virtual machine. Configuration for Vagrant and Oracle Virtualbox is provided.

To start test server simply

cd vagrant
vagrant up clamav

This will kick up a CentOS virtual machine and install ClamAV in it.

Alternatively, you could use Docker image to run ClamAV. Automated tests with Travis CI run using Docker image for ClamAV. The test image runs with artificially low MaxStreamLength setting on purpose.
