We experienced the performance degradation with Symantec and McAfee.
That's the first detail you mention...
Not to scan is not an option, I guess you mentioned that as a joke :-)
No, it was not a joke. But it depends...
Think about a client-server system where the clients run Windows and the
server run Linux.
You could think about not scanning on the server if
a) the clients all have a virus scanner
b) the server-software runs in a secured environment.
I was under the assumption that this is a general problem that everyone who
have file server is dealing with... Please let me know what info are you
missing.
I don't scan for viruses on my linux-based fileservers. I do scan on
window clients.

Everything works fine until the Anti-Virus gets into the picture - the files

That's quite common :-)
The need for scanning incoming files is clear however do you have any idea of
best practices for this scenario?
Don't scan :-)
configuring the AV differently?
If you need to scan: Why not? Of course you can try to configure differently.
It's your system. Check it out.
Maybe there is a special tool\AV to scan files more efficiently that the
standards Anti-Viruses?
Yes, maybe there a more efficient virus file-scanners out there.
And what is a "standard ati-virus"?! Is there a "Standard"?
Something else?
One thing:
How to you except help if you don't provide any details?!
