The reason really has nothing to do with Linux and everything to do
with protecting Windows based computers from each other in a
heterogeneous environment where Linux is handling files that are
moving between Windows systems. (ie; email, network shares, etc).
Even then, ClamAV isn't a great solution.

If you want to scan for malware under Wine, ClamAV isn't really ideal,
either.  It's just not very good software. You'd be better off finding
a Windows based product that will run in a Wine environment.
