To build on what pan64 said, a web search of "av for linux" will turn up a number of articles and reviews.

This one looks like a good place to start: https://www.tecmint.com/best-antivir...ams-for-linux/

Me, I've variously used Comodo and AVG for Linux with no complaints. I use clam on my VPS web server.
