How about checking for viruses before mail reaches Cyrus? Such as with a virus scanner that runs as a milter which sendmail talks to when it receives mail? Or a similar approach for whatever your chosen MTA is? We use RAV http://www.ravantivirus.com in its Sendmail-milter version with good results here. There is no really need to treat the cyrus mailstore as a pile of files, or to run software that naively does that (thereby causing your own problem, as has been pointed out) in order to scan email for viruses.
