I am not familiar with one but to be honest, there isn't much need for several reasons. First, most viruses are written to attack Windows boxes and wouldn't run under Solaris or the files it was looking to modify would not be there. Second, the possible damage from a Solaris virus would be limited to the permissions of the user that executed it, and root should never receive email from humans.
