Whether you factor in the phish hits or not, ClamAV stands up very nicely to
any other virus scanner.  Also, many of the major commericial virus vendors
are starting to scan for phishing attempts.  Of the virus scanners we run,
TrendMicro and McAfee, in addition to ClamAV, also block phishing e-mails
and links to phishing sites.

Finally, ClamAV is very well supported by the open-source community and
their track-record on virus updates is at least as good as any of the
commercial vendors, and I would even venture to say that they are actually
better than most (at least as compared to the products we have tested it
against: TrendMicro, McAfee, F-Prot, AVG, and BitDefender).
