I wonder how you'd do that. Given how milter and greylists works, it 
looks impossible to me. Greylisting happens before the body of the 
message has been received, so you can't run a virus scanner before 
greylisting.

And you can't add an anti-virus gateway in front of you sendmail with 
milter-greylist without breaking the greylist idea.
