Clamav.

I did some testing several years ago with ClamAV, Sophos and McAfee 
(scanning incoming mail), and ClamAV was comparable to McAfee in detection 
rates - over 98%.

If you run the daemon you have on access scanning.  Seems like that would 
satisfy the policy.

It's in ports, so it should be easy to install and keep up to date.
