In many companies that have compliance requirements, all servers are
required to have antivirus.  The argument that "Linux servers don't
get viruses" is irrelevant and falls on deaf ears.  (And no, you
cannot just say, "well the auditors don't know what they are talking
about" and consider the case closed).

We are using clam-av with a scheduled nightly scan.  Seems to work well enough.
