OPSWAT has a library, OESIS Local, with a COM interface that claims to generically support invoking client AVs (on Linux, Mac and Windows) to scan specified files. See, http://www.opswat.com/products/oesis-framework/oesis-local

If you're talking about a web site upload, the long of the short of is that this cannot be done unless you force your users to install antivirus software.

For winforms apps, you could use the security center API to check if they have antivirus installed/enabled, or you could hit SourceForge, find an opensource project and try to build out/extract a DLL that would scan a single file for you.

Cheers.
