antivirus for linux?

Most likely you need an antivirus for Linux.
1. Check wine.
2. Check Windows machines.
3. Check if our server has downloadable exe and other Windows files.
4. Check flash drives.
Additionally
5. Check sites for hacking. I heard ClamAV looking for shells and other viruses on websites.
6. In emergency situations, inaccurately check Linux. + more rootkits. The server can be hacked and some kind of virus, trojan, spy, etc. is planted inside.
Therefore, I found several interesting candidates for the role of Linux antivirus.
Firstly, Linux should treat Windows viruses well.
And secondly, sometimes their personal viruses.
With the second one, I think ClamAV will do well.
But Windows viruses, he most likely treats very reluctantly.
And I settled on f-prot and clamav. The first one can help with Windows viruses in any way, besides it is completely free and has modern updates. And the second, ClamAV with the locals.
Although it seems to me that it would be nice to use Nod32 or Dr.Web. For some reason, many servers like to check downloaded files through Dr, Web.
Or, what do you think, which antivirus to use in Linux?

avast is available for Linux with databases for Windows ;)
but avast is basically the only antivirus that can treat viruses on the machine itself, since it has a pre-boot console mode.
So if the machine has not died, then avast, in principle, works normally, given that the free version differs from non-free only by the firewall.

Firstly, Linux should treat Windows viruses well.

Linux is not a doctor, it does not cure anyone. This is OS.
Where are you going to take them? Order from Kaspersky Lab?

It is useless, almost all positives will be false.
And secondly, sometimes their personal viruses.
So far, Linux is doing well with malware thanks to the Elusive Joe method.
