It should (be configured to) reject e-mails containing virus.

I am not so sure if it can remove virus from message, but I'm sure it's
generally considered a bad idea.
Mails containing a virus usually contain no useful content (unless you hope
virus will send you random data from your competitors, useful for you) and
are usually sent from fake address to a random addresses, so any attempt to
deliver mail (or bounce) after detecting a virus in it is sick and annoying.
