\FULL is doing a lot and it's unlikely that inside there the nest token
seen is the 's' so your test fails
\ACRONYM{DLL}{\SelectFull{Dynamic-Link Library}{Dynamic-Link Libraries}}
\def\VeryFullSingular#1#2{\FULL{#1}}
\def\VeryFullPlural #1#2{\FULL{#2}}
\unexpanded\def\VeryFull
{\doifnextcharelse{s}
{\let\SelectFull\VeryFullPlural}
{\let\SelectFull\VeryFullSingular}}
test \VeryFull{DLL} or \VeryFull{DLL}s it is
if there is real need for this i can consider building something in but
the check for a following 's' is not that common I think
