ClamAV is probably the most widely known/used but I don't know of many 
who really use it. Unless you are forwarding infected files to poor 
individuals on *other* less secure operating systems then there is 
little need IMHO. We have set up Clam and Squid to do checking on all 
Internet traffic but it can be resource intensive if the box is used for 
other stuff too.

I find the Wildlist very interesting:

http://www.wildlist.org/WildList/200906.htm

This monitors active viruses actually *in the wild*. For the June 2009 
report all 753 viruses target the Win32 API...
