amavis+clamav is a good team. You can also add others antivirus 
(openantivirus, MKS, Kaspersky ...) Some are free others not. Check on 
mail list of amavis, there was discussions about this matter. I 
installed amavis+exim+MKS on one computer, amavis+sendmail+openantivirus 
on an other one and commercial Kaspersky KAV+sendmail on a third one. 
All are working well, only problem is with openantivirus which is in 
java and virus database is not so offen updated :-(
