Does clamav do realtime scanning?  I know that this is a little OT, but this 
is the main reason that it is not on any desktops that I manage.  

For samba servers though, I have it run scheduled scans putting logs in all 
the usual places.  Logcheck can then be set to email you if something goes 
awry.
