Further to Travis's suggestion as well.  There is a ClamAV client for 
windows called clamwin (clamwin.com).  There is also one for Mac OS X. 
Not sure of the name but I believe they include it in the latest OS X 
version (Tiger).  I test drove the windows variant at work (before I got 
canned) for deployment of a desktop antivirus solution to comliment the 
Symantec stuff on the server.  It worked excellent in my opinion with 
less bloat than Norton, scheduled updates, scans and a quarentine 
feature.  You could also specify the directory where updates could be 
downloaded so you could have one main system and the clients pull from it.

If I ever get in a place that will allow it I would DEFINATELY deploy 
this solution.
