"ant install" indeed only work with a single device running, but adb -s <serial> install is the same thing really. Nothing magical about "ant install" :)
To figure out the serial number of each AVD, you could run DDMS. it displays the avd name in the last column of the Device tree view. You could also use the following commands to do some script wizardry that displays the avd for the current emulators: adb devices - list the connected devices. Emulators will show up as "emulator-<port>" telnet localhost <port> - connect to the emulator console running on <port> avd name - inside the emulator console, returns the avd name.
