There are online virus-scanning tools you can use via API such as: https://scanii.com/ and https://www.virustotal.com/en/documentation/public-api/ . Alternately you can use a Compute Engine machine/Managed VM, install an anti-virus scanning engine, then run all your uploaded files through there.

If you don't want to handle virus scanning yourself, you could try requiring users to upload files from a trusted source. For example, Google Drive virus scans files under 25MB - you could have users upload to GDrive, then select files using the Drive API.
