FYI,

ClamAV (Clam Antivirus) is a free, open-source (GPL) antivirus
that works on most *nix platforms, as well as win32 (under
Cygwin).  They apparently have good response on updates of
new virus definitions, mailing lists, etc, and people
use this in conjunction with sendmail, postfix, et al to
filter email viruses.  IIRC, somebody was working on a 
VFS for Samba, so that remote virus scans were also
a possibility (you might check samba-technical maillist
archives if interested)
