Just answer the following question: have you ever seen a virus which
has infected your linux box? If the answer is no (and I guess this is
the case) then it is pointless to install an anti-virus for internal
use.

Answer this other question:
Do you have any virus-prone systems connected to your Linux box? Say, a gaming 
PC, a laptop, your kid's PC.... or business clients connected to a Linux 
samba server?

If the answer is yes, then an antivirus running on your Linux box will help 
all those other virus-prone systems.

FYI: ClamAV is an antivirus solution to remove MS-Windows virii
