That's not true. Of course, this is possible. All you have to do is
adjust your ACLs. Mark the mail, so you can quarantine it later via a
dedicated router/transport pair.

Handling your email is not the job of the virus scanner, but of your
MTA. The virus scanner just notifies exim whether the mail contains a
virus or not. Whatever exim will do with this information is up to your
creativity. The ACL mechanism is very powerful and let's you deny the
mail, accept & quarantine it or or or...whatever you can think of.
