Not really, no. Avast, ClamAV, BitDefender, and others offer a Linux anti-virus solution, but there are so few Linux vira (something like forty-five vs. several hundred thousand, if I remember correctly, and none of the forty-five still in the wild), that their features are based around the assumption that you'll be handling files from Windows users. You can still use most of them to check for Linux vira, of course, but it's not really worth it. Rather, you should secure your machine from other attacks, by keeping yourself up to date with patches, and scanning regularly with an automated vulnerability detector like Nessus.
