Simply kill all mail containing any type of windows executables and you are safe: no need for an AV. The only problem is if you do need to email code.
Amavis has a filter for this.
The doubt then would be macro type virus.
Unfortunately, things that can execute stuff include office documents and spreadsheets which ends pretty much like one would need to quarantine everything produced by a M$ product (Which is not a bad idea.. just impracticable :-) ). If it was not for that abortion of a mail client called Outlook this would probably be adequate, but as the mail content itself can carry a malicious payload and the Outlook/IE combination is still an accident waiting to happen it is only partial cover :-(
