I use samba to get data in/out of Vmware.
My /etc/smb.conf needs to acknowledge the "fake" Vmware network interface
interface running, so I have:
hosts allow = 192.168.0. ...
and
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24 ...
In addition to a public share:
[pub]
comment = Public Area for Windows Apps
path = /big/misc/smb_pub
read only = no
public = yes
writeable = yes
printable = no
You can also use the floppy disk to read/write files (though I believe
vmware will commandeer /dev/fd0). Similar for zip I imagine. A
serial line could probably be used as well, but that would likely
need some hacking to get to work.

A useful thing would be a perl script or simple C program that takes
the McAfee "virus.dat" file, extracts the patterns and applies the
checks to the Windows file(s). That way you don't have to depend on
McAfee for a Linux program (but you do have to depend upon them for the
file format). I started down this road once, but don't recall getting
very far....
