Something like Amavis could be integrated into exim - but if this goes on, Exim
will become much more bloated than a certain kitchen sink which serves as a
browser + mua + newsreader + editor + .... and Makes A Computer Slower :)

Amavis plugs into exim quite well though ... so it could be included as an
"added extra" when compiling exim. Putting HAS_AMAVIS_SUPPORT=y (say) in exim
would automatically add the proper lines to the exim configure file. Then
you'd just build amavis on your box and add something like the kaspersky
antivirus engine.
