AV for Linux try ClamAV. There are others too.

You do really want AV even on Linux. It is a less popular target but it's still a target and what if your Linux gets used as some form of vector to get to Windows boxes.

One issue is that some consumer Linux's are not as locked down as they could be. They are using Linux as a cheap platform that will be less resource intensive than XP or Vista. They are not primarily being used for their security.
