You don't. From `man kavscanner`:
Exit codes
If you start kavscanner from a script file, you may anal-
yse its exit code.
After the task is finished the program returns one of the
following values (exit codes) in the low half-byte:
0 - no viruses detected;
1 - scanning was interrupted;
2 - objects containing a modified or damaged virus
were detected;
3 - suspicious objects were detected;
4 - one or more viruses were detected;
5 - all infected objects are disinfected;
6 - infected objects are deleted;
7 - kavscanner or kavdaemon files are corrupted.
8 - files are corrupted or the I/O error has
occurred.
- Torsten
