Check out f-prot:       http://www.f-prot.com

They have versions for *nix and Windows. On the linux server, you could 
have a cron job that runs f-prot on the ftp directory every 10 minutes, 
or so. On the Windows client side, f-prot runs a 'Real Time Protector', 
and if the user tries to access a known virus, Real Time Protector will 
pop up a window letting the user know the file contains a virus.
