Imagine your antivirus program quarantining (by moving the file) your
message store file or cleaning it by removing a piece out of the middle
of it.  Either way, you'd be screwed.

Never scan the Exchange directories.  At the very least use a SMTP
scanner for inbound mail and a file system scanner on your workstations
to catch users who may introduce a virus.  You could also use an
Exchange based virus scanner.
