The old w32.clamav is currently dead in the water - no updates since Feb 08.

The other native ports (hideout & netfarm) both have versions that run on NT 
(and Win98 for 
that matter) without any MS addon.  They are both up to 0.94rc1 (which runs 
well on my 
systems).

Sosdg has kept up well with releases, but has the overhead of the cygwin 
emulation so will 
always be slower. Also the developer is relocating and has said "After Sept 
15th, there will be 
no more SOSDG builds till around November.  I will no longer have my Windows 
build 
system...", and currently the site is down.

ME asked for consensus, but each version is packaged by a single individual, 
and 
if they get busy elsewhere, the job doesn't get done - just see what's happened 
to the 'official' port at w32.clamav.net.  I keep an eye on all of them, and go 
with 
the one I prefer - currently hideout.ath.cx

Until sourcefire decide to put resources into a binary windows build, I don't 
expect this situation to change.

And for the OP, there's a selection of 'other sig' download scripts for nix and 
windows on the sanesecurity site
