Research direction
Investigate the current antivirus definition update mechanism in the bucket antivirus function repository. Identify where ClamAV loads its databases and how to configure additional sources like clamav unofficial dbs. Examine the Lambda function's deployment package to see if extra database files can be included. There is no linked PR, so the solution is open ended.
