You are right, but it's really not much of a disadvantage. In most cases it is better to delete the infected file and replace it with a new copy. Of course, this can be an inconvenience if you want to remove macros from MS Office documents and use them stripped. Otherwise, it's not a big deal.

In addition to the ClamXAV Sentry mentioned by another poster, there is also a Contextual Menu Plugin that allows you to scan an item selected in the Finder by crtl-clicking (or right clicking if you have a mulit-button mouse.)

There is also a schedule function to autoscan at a specified time or day.
