The current Sophos NASL will "not" report if Sophos is not installed.
However, if it is installed and the updates are not done correctly it should
appear in the report.

What version of Sophos and Symantec Clients are you running ?

Also, antivirus_installed.nasl reports on a handful of AV's. If you
installed the software correctly, you should see this in the report as well.

Plugins 12215, 21725 should report if Sophos/Symantec are installed.
Although, that's assuming you have correct credentials to scan the box and
plugins are enabled for the scan.
