I use CLAMAV

I dealt with a site that used AVG, but that was 5+ years ago. So my
opinion either way is no longer of any merit.

I've dealt with BitDefender more recently.  It seems to do its thing.

I feel they are all adequate, perform more-or-less the same, and the
advantages/disadvantages between them do not rise much above the
tedious.  If one really is more fitting than another it depends on
site-specific details.

You will get false-positives and misses with any such tool - don't over
react.
