I imagine you could easily handle that stuff. ClamAV allows for custom
virus detection so even if there is no detection for the spyware you
could create it. Another avenue is using the spyware rules available for
snort you could create block variants. I've no experience with the
spyware rules so I cannot attest to accuracy but the solution is
certainly capable of it.
perhaps the inline folks would care to comment.

I am using a Fortigate firewall. It inspects all traffic transparently for
IDS/Virus events.
I believe they used Snort for their IDS. Fortinet provides signature
updates for the IDS system several times a week. We are very happy with
this solution.

I am not sure how fortinet does it however I know snort-inline now has a
clamav preprocessor that will scan for viruses in the traffic and block it
if discovered. There is no proxy involved and all traffic is scanned based
on a configuration you define. It is a recent development and sure to
require beefy hardware but might be worth exploring for the edge points
that require virus scanning. X-posting to snort-inline if they want to
chime in.
