Do not use "traditional" AV at all (as that would never protect you from the latest virus). Rather, set up your email gateway to "defang" all suspicious emails (e.g. containing EXE or SCR or PIF, or ZIP, attachments); it is a matter to debate whether to reject (bounce), drop, or somehow encode such things so as to render harmless. - Probably you will want your email gateway to run UNIX/Linux, so you can set this up. Once your email gateway is "safe", any AV on desktops becomes much less important, but you may still want some "traditional" AV on your desktops; any reasonably well supported product should do.
