We've used Kaspersly Labs AV 6.0 with great success.  Be sure to just use 
the daemon scanner, though, not the full-blown mail proxy setup.  Using 
the daemon kavd via amavisd.conf works a lot nicer than trying to 
configure a separate SMTP daemon in front of your regular SMTP daemon.

KAV 6.0 is very fast, updates regularly, and has caught one or two things 
that ClamAV missed.  Not enough to warrant buying it separately, IMO, but 
it came as part of our district-wide license, so figured I'd use it.   :)
