I had been using F-Prot for Linux to scan home directories.  I've switched to
ClamAV (http://clamav.sourceforge.net) to scan home directories (once a week)
and incoming mail (via clamav-milter) in real-time.  There's an early beta of
"clamuko" on their site for real-time scanning of specified file systems.
Haven't tried that yet.  The "freshclam" utility runs from cron to update the
local virusdef database. They seem very much on top of getting out updates in
a timely manner.
