It really sounds like you want the Content scanning features that are
already present in Exim. They use ClamAV (or your favourite virus
scanner) and SpamAssassin to prevent viruses and spam. You will need to
download and install them. They both have integration guides to get it
all working with Exim.

The local_scan function is written in the C programming language which
is then compiled into the Exim binary. It is written by someone (maybe
you) to do some very specific site specific thing. Unless you already
have a local_scan C function made, you will probably not want to head in
this direction. Almost anything you could possibly think of can be done
in the ACL. This is the "new" way of doing everything.
