I use Trend Antivirus - they have a free 30 day download to try.  It does do
periodic downloads at intervals configurable by you, and what level of

scans for malicious java and other such nasties.

www.avp.com. they have a linux server daemon made for a cron job.
i use it to keep viruses (windoze and the what..2 *nix viruses) from entering OR leaving the internal lan. and its free.
make sure you set a cron job to keep it updated regularly, they add updates frequently.
