As I think Carlos hinted, clamav and the other linux AV players exist in large part to protect windows clients whose files are stored on linux servers. Our company runs clamav on our (suse powered) mail servers since we have thousands of internal users, most of them being windows users who need virus protection. But, clamav has evolved beyond it's windows virus roots, and now helps us block phishing scams, PDF spam and other sorts of spam and malware.
