    clamav is available from either your SuSE distribution or from their web site.
    It is an opensource package and is extremely good.
    http://www.clamav.net/

    KlamAV is a front end to ClamAV for the KDE desktop user.
     http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12388

    You should find it in one of the APT repositories
    ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-i386

    also have a look at
    http://www.clamav.net/3rdparty.html#gui
    for other GUI front ends to clamav
