Can you tell us more about your requirements?

You should consider 2GBytes (not 4GBytes) to be the maximum file size:

https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Development/tips-and-tricks.html?highlight=limits#general-debugging

To allow ClamAV to scan huge files is to risk crashing the scanner,
and there are other issues which may crop up too.

I don't know of anything which meets your description precisely.  The
ClamAV maintainers are the folks at Cisco-Talos:

[Disclaimer: Other than my chats with people on (and occasionally off)
this list, I have no relationship with Cisco nor any Cisco company.]

Cisco offers a range of product for protecting computer systems:

There are also numerous third-party tools etc. based on ClamAV:
