My main use case for Antivirus for Amazon S3 is to automatically scan objects as soon as they're uploaded into S3 buckets. It's mostly used in buckets where files are uploaded by external users or applications, such as documents, reports, or data files. We use it to ensure that no virus or anything affects the integrity of our system. I have used Antivirus for Amazon S3 to directly protect our S3 buckets and our entire AWS infrastructure from any malicious files which may pose a threat to our infrastructure. We actively use it for user-uploaded content for one of our applications which requires users to upload content and applications or files. For a dev team, they may also use data ingestion pipelines where files come from external sources. This ensures that infected or suspicious files are detected before they are processed further, and we do not need to check these malicious files on our own.

My main use case for Antivirus for Amazon S3 is that S3 objects are generally uploaded to the cloud by different clients, and those S3 objects are being consumed by our ECM products. We upload all the codes of our Lambda functions to S3 because they are large in volume. It may happen that our SCA tools and node modules that are getting uploaded may have vulnerable content or objectionable content, so we use Antivirus for Amazon S3 for scanning them.
My main use case for Antivirus for Amazon S3 is that my customers use S3 for a variety of use cases where data is constantly uploaded and downloaded from S3, making it extremely important to protect my S3 buckets globally from any kind of virus that might corrupt files, that might create other security concerns and introduce bugs into my AWS ecosystem. A quick specific example of how I have used Antivirus for Amazon S3 in one of those scenarios is when we expose S3 endpoints for our external partners to upload files, and we have applied antivirus there to do a check on the files being uploaded prior to those being uploaded into S3, which gives us confidence that the files being uploaded are not corrupt or a security threat for us.
