avast home edition is a good windows AV program. why dont you use that? if not, then using knoppix is hte best idea. get to know the interface just in case you ever have to remove a windows virus that isnt a dualboot machine.
as for using a prog in wine, id recommend AVG over Avast as avast uses alpha-blending and you probably will have compatibilty problems. as for a AV prog in xp, avast is better.

F-prot

I installed F-Prot on my Mdk 10.1. I did a scan on all harddrives and it even found a few potential problems on my windows folder from linux that Panda in Windows never found. I usually update it every day.

have to say I use bit defender console, a command line scanner, simple to use, free, regular updates, found more viruses on my old xp partition than either, AVG and Norton, cleaned them up nicely too!
simple as,
bdc --update (to update virus definitions)
bdc --all / (to scan whole computer or define which directories)
Can be found
here
hope this is what you're after
