You can go for a full commenrcial scanner with updates.
I find a simple cron job almost as effective (and I don't need to run
untrusted code to download stuff to my computer).
There are a number of free scanner frameworks .
http://www.openantivirus.org has an faq with many links, but I don't know
if it is still maintained. Also try to look in freshemat for "virus" and
you're bound to come up with some results.
I personally use postfix and AVP, withamavis-perl as the framework. Note
that I needed a recent enough version of postfix (the one from Mandrake
7.2 was not recent enough) because only the the mail filtering interface
was added to postfix.
exim and sendmail have a general-purpose mail filtering interface. I'm not
sure about qmail.
As for OpenAntiVirus that I mentioned above: when I last looked at it, its
FAQ was a useful resource of links (for all sorts of scanning and
filtering). There are also some people there working on a free virus
scanner. They have already produced an alpha version , but it seems highly
inefficient (let alone the fact that it iswritten in java).
