If you don't need an AV daemon you can use the clamav scanner. The clamd
will not run with NetBSD but the clamav scanner works nice with NetBSD.
Have a look at
http://clamav.elektrapro.com/
for more informations.

F-Prot also works with NetBSD. This tool is terribly slow but maybe more
thorough than the beta clamav project. Get it here:
http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/bsd/
This is (presumably) the best choice. But it isn't open source.

If you need a deamon style solution you have to use the MKSD with MKS32,
see http://linux.mks.com.pl/
At the present this is the only AV daemon for NetBSD. There exists an
english translation and it can be easily integrated with the Exim ACL
patch. But I think you don't need an av daemon, cause you don't have to
configure a mailserver. 

Try f-prot or clamav, if you like.
