Most of the time anti-malware running on Linux was to protect Windows machines on the same network. Such as scanning incoming mail before the Windows machines got it.
Decades ago at work many of us had email on IRIX64 or NextStep and were required to switch to Outlook. Some users had big mbox files. We use clamav check for malware before transferring the mbox files. There were many attachments with Windows malware.
My boss was at a high-level meeting that included US military brass. At the end of the meeting the final report was shared via a USB key. My boss had a macbook, but the military had Windows laptops. At the time, Apple was using clamav with custom rules. The macbook detected malware in the form of a copy.exe on the USB key.
