Answer 1

You can use S3 VirusScan, which is a third-party open source tool.

Some of its features are:

• Uses ClamAV to scan newly added files on S3 buckets
• Updates ClamAV database every 3 hours automatically
• Scales EC2 instance workers to distribute workload
• Publishes a message to SNS in case of a finding
• Can optionally delete compromised files automatically
• Logs to CloudWatch Logs
