I run InterCheck virus scanner on my Linux machine.  It's quite nice, although 
I don't find many virii, if any.  I haven't had one line from InterCheck in 
my syslog about a virus:)

It scans for alot of well known virii.  You can check it out at 
http://www.sophos.com

There is a version you can download, and really has no restrictions.  I 
think.... I haven't ran into any.
