On TurboLinux and Debian:  McAfee's uvscan and Sophos
On RedHat:  McAfee's uvscan, Sophos, antivir, Symantec AntiVirus
Command Line Scanner, f-prot, Amavis & ClamAV, drweb, Panda Antivirus

Sophos was mentioned the most and there were many positive comments
about the product.

Use:

For several clients I have the Linux version (Sophos) of the scanner on
the mail
scanner scanning all incoming and outgoing mail and on a Samba
file/print server doing periodic scans.  I also have all the Windows
clients using Sophos for real-time scanning.

Sophos sweep on our linux fileservers, and sophos sweep with
qmail-scanner
and sophie on our mailservers.

We use uvscan from McAfee. Our contract with them includes the use of
it.
Seems to work well, it has caught a lot of virii on our mailhub.

uvscan from mcafee
i dont know if they still provide the binaries, the actual
viruspatterns
work. you would need to have compat-libs installed, as mcafee didnt
recompile their binary for new distros, but this is no problem.

I use antivir (antivir.de) and spamassassin and so far I am batting
100% 

I run Amavis & ClamAV on our mail server.
