RHEL and clones (like the best know CentOS) have a long stable ABI/API 
in contrary to Fedora which bring the latest stable free / open source 
software (sometimes beta)

This mainly why some commercial vendors don't officially support Fedora.

Also try ClamAV is the best open source anti-virus which is packaged in 
Fedora and RHEL through EPEL, I use it in my Laptop/Desktop and company 
  Servers / Mail Gateway etc.
