There are not as many under Linux, as there are for the Windows
platform. Of the free ones that I have tried:

o Antivir: AntiVir provides protection against infected e-mails 
  by scanning in - and outgoing mails with shell scripts. Refer
  http://www.hbedv.com/ 
  
o F-Prot for Linux : Can scan across mounted M$ partitions. Its
  virus definition files are newer. http://www.f-prot.com/
  
o NOD32 antivirus system for Linux.  Forget the  URL,  check out
  google for NOD32. Similar to F-Prot but smaller, and the virus
  definition files of 2001 vintage.
  
I believe McAfee is better and more complete, but  its  is paid
stuff, and I have not given it a try.

I have tried both F-Prot and NOD32 on stand alone M$ boxes (with-
out samba). I booted from a custom built rescue disk set and ran 
the anti-virus from ram disk alone ... F-Prot managed to get rid
of CIH from a friend's Win-9x box.

I do not think there should be problems over a samba network, but
I have not tried it myself ...
