A long time ago the FUSE developers said something about implementing write-through stacking for FUSE (i.e. 'sudo fusermount -o allow_other encfs / /' would allow mounting on /, and encfs could read/write under its own mount point).
Wouldn't that make more sense? You could i.e. edit /etc/avfs.conf to say "scanner=clamscan" "clamscan=/usr/bin/clamscan" and mount avfs on /...?
