Ah okay, I see that there's a *.deb for it, but when I run it, the
software installer says it's a "badly formed" install file or something
like that.

I installed avg using the .sh file ...

wet http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/inst/avg85flx-r874-a3473.i386.sh
chmod a+x ./avg85flx-r874-a3473.i386.sh
sudo ./avg85flx-r874-a3473.i386.sh
(use q to quit the viewing of the license, etc., and just keep pressing
enter at each of the prompts, to install with the default settings).
sudo service avgd start
sudo avgupdate

Then you can use avgscan on the windows files.

Okay, I was going to try that next, but these pre-procedures will definitely help, thanks.
