Arno and Andy know a lot more than I ever will about Android, so I will defer to them - but there is on-device scanning also that Google does. As I recall, every app that is installed, no matter how it's installed and nor matter where it came from, is scanned by default upon installation. This is, of course, with the default Google Play Store client settings, even though the app may have nothing whatsoever to do with the Play Store. In addition, once a day, by default, it's my understanding that Google scans again every app on your device for malicious signatures. We could dig up more if people are interested - although we've covered this a few times in the past - so I'm confident those statements above are true. But, as Arno mentioned also - these scans are only malware signature scans.
