I am confused about installing some virus scanning software on my Linux system. Thought of installing clamav, so will that be good or if anyone is using any better one, please do suggest. Thanks in advance.

Yes. And even then you're filtering windows viruses. Nothing that could or would run on the server or even in any client that isn't an ancient version of outlook.

Those seem to have pretty much disappeared in the last decade of not before. No vulnerable systems, no infections. No infections, no viruses being sent. There is still potential for scanning somewhere but intrusion detection and spam filtering is more realistic than viruses.
