    I can't imagine that it wouldn't detect viruses that are typically
    native to Windows machines (me thinks, it wouldn't have much use
    otherwise). I use a NAI product and it works just fine on most any
    Linux distribution I've tried it on. It shouldn't take but a few
    minutes to determine if ClamAV will work for you, just do a quick
    scan of your mail directories and I'd be very surprised if you didn't
    see a virus or two unless you filter them out first.
