Well, Trend (linux) is free.  F-Prot do a free version (for at least 
FreeBSD) for personal use.  AVP and Sophos are both quite good.

Used all the above, mostly with Trend as a backup if I'm running on Linux.

AVP, Sophos and Trend have the advantage of having a daemon option 
(Trophie/Sophie for Trend/Sophos).  This makes them a little faster...
