Is it possible to read-only mount a ZFS snapshot of a running VM? There is Linux running on the snapshotted VM, if that matters. We need to perform virus scanning on all our Linux VMs and I thought this could be a way to do it.

Yes, a snapshot is per-se read only. You may need to clone it (make it writeable) to mount some filesystems with a journal.
There is also this interessting looking project still on my todo list:

This does the same but uses backups from PBS.
