Use as many as you can afford cpu and financially. If you run ramdisk and have fast cpu. My external mx runs a fast cpu and having 4 virus scanners does not add any noticable delay time. Depends on your mail volume.
The only one I know of that is free and effective is clamav. You can slip by without a virus scanner, (at least you could) and just block harmful extensions and defang html. My internal just defangs all html content, removes activex/object/java and similar. If using mcafee download extra.dat daily dat files updates for better protection.
