The only thing dangerous are the Windows vulnerabilities. As long as you do not have to serve Windows clients you can forget about virus scanners.
If you have indeed to cope with Windows clients, use ClamAV - it will run on a Linux platform and scan for Windows viruses. Most commonly it is used on mail gateways, FTP servers and similar passageways from intra- to inernet.
I hope this helps.
