apt-get and security.debian.org. When a new exploit is announced,
security.debian.org almost always has an updated deb available within
a day and this update is announced on the debian-announce list. To
date, I am not aware of any virus/worm which has exploited
vulnerabilities less than a month or two old, so following
debian-accounce and applying security updates immediately when
they're announced would seem to be a very effective strategy.

The only virus scanners I am aware of that run under linux are
designed to scan for Windows viruses in traffic that the linux server
is handling.
