The clamav project is really good with virus updates. They even had stuff
out for MyDoom and Bagle before a lot of the big guys. There was quite a bit
of to-and-fro on the postfix mailing list the other week with admins looking
for first-matches in their logs, comparing their update regularity and when
their anti-virus software found MyDoom for the first time. clamav was doing
pretty well. :-)
