You can get ClamAV from the repository here, that seems to be a popular one. Are you running Plesk? If so, you could use qmail-scanner to make qmail work with clamd.

ClamAV is also a popular antivirus solution for Linux in general. I suggest adding the RPMForge or Atomic repository and installing ClamAV through yum.

You'll want to think about how you want it to function though. Do you want antivirus for your mail server? A cronjob that scans fileshares? There are quite a number of ways to use antivirus software.
