I have done testing of ClamAV (through the ClamAV LiveCD that I make)
and Norton (latest version) in the shop that I work in and generally
ClamAV has been at least as thorough as Norton because of at least two
things.

A) When scanning with the LiveCD, you have access to otherwise protected
Windows files that wouldn't be scanned otherwise and that are commonly
infected.

B) You have access to protected and passworded accounts that otherwise
wouldn't be scanned unless the user logged in and initiated a scan
themselves.

Hope this helps.
