Clam is good. We run it before Sophie/Sophos and there is not
much, if anything, that it fails to catch that Sophie gets.

On Openbsd you'll have to run this in Linux emulation and you might
need to patch it (cant remember if Vanja ever added my patches to the
source).

I presume you are talking about clamd and not clamscan. Clamd has, or used to have,
threading problems on OpenBSD but clamscan works just fine.

Keep in mind that if you do run TrendMicro's VirusWall you will have to go thru
hell and high water to configure it to NOT be an open relay. Personally I dont have much
faith in "security" products that defaults to being open relays...
