If I install NAV, I'll be glad to post back to the list the results.
I am not planning on running scheduled system scans. I am not too
worried about file based viruses (boot sector, Trojan or email/scr),
what I am hoping to prevent is worms that prey on security holes like
slammer, blaster or Code Red.
I am 99% sure that my servers are secure, my software firewall and
hardware firewall are configed correctly and all relevant patches are
applied, but if I miss one, I could spend my weekend rebuilding a
server.
It would be nice if there was a web server version of NAV. Or something
that is ultra light on CPU time and system resources.

Mark,
Once get your anti-virus software installed and running on you web
server, would you mind sharing with the list what kind of performance
impact it creates. Are you planning to run scheduled system scans?

True it probably would show in the task or process lists, but if I were
to write a worm/Trojan, I would make it show up in the task list as
SVCHOST.exe, the generic name of a DLL process.

You see it in the task list. And if it does anything besides
being there (like trying to spread), you see that in your network
traffic.
