Try ClamAV - http://www.clamav.net/ - its excellent.

You can call it from your PHP code (or pretty much anywhere else) so in
that sense it will do exactly what you want, but if your webhost
doesn't allow you to install software or set up cron jobs (used to
update the virus db) then its probably not for you.
