In our particular environment (a government server farm), we were asked to deploy the Mcafee virus scanning tools for Linux. After several months of frustration, we concluded given our particular configuration (A very large Storage Area Network) that McAfee would never meet our needs.
We tested and deployed clamav across 63 machines with over 24 terabytes of network storage and have found that it fits our needs extremely well. We don't do "on the fly" scanning, but do scanning on a cycling basis per machine, to avoid overtaxing our network.
