Unless you begin to "hack" your iPhone, in all honesty I wouldn't worry about it and there aren't system-wide antivirus apps designed for the iPhone. They aren't really needed. Since each app is kept in its own sandbox and cannot access anything else on your device aside from specific API hooks (i.e. when an app asks for permission to access your contacts), and since all code is signed and approved by Apple, the chances of malicious code being able to run on your device are very slim. The security model of iOS means that it's just about the most secure type of platform you'll ever see.
