For reasons already posted by others, I do run AV on my desktop Linux 
machines.  On my servers, ClamAV and MailScanner combo works well.

As for the desktops, I've found avast! to be not only free, but quite 
good.  I especially like the fact that they provide .deb packages which 
allow me to keep my installed packages manageable :)

...and yes, I use avast! on any M$ machines I come across without sound 
protection.

HTH - YMMV,
