That's not very general, and isn't a particularly useful feature anyway,
since one can very easily run the files through ClamAV _after_ they've
been saved. Scanning-and-then-saving implies it would have to be saved
to a temporary file _anyway_, or else handled entirely in memory (which
is generally unreasonable).

Wget upstream development _is_ planning to eventually support more
generic process-filtered/plugin mechanisms for handling such things as
link-parsing, content-filtering, and probably filestore management (such
as saving to a tarball or multipart/related archive). That last feature
would make a suitable general hook for plugging in a ClamAV scanner,
perhaps, which could simply decline to save the files it doesn't like.
Still have the same problem, though, of needing to save to a temporary
file or else hold it in memory.
