Hi,
Im guessing that your host is using either unix or linux, so yes you can. On most hosts there is a binary hidden away in most nix distros so you could use this to scan your file.
<?php
$cmd = "fvscan -txv | fsrv -d - /path/to/file";
exec($cmd);
?>
You should first ask your host that they have this installed and configured to scan archives.
