Yes, but how is it run? Hourly via cron? On which files? What does it protect against? Mind you, I'm not talking about workstations, but about servers.

Cron a "clamscan -ir /" It will check the entire filesystem and report infected files. You probably don't want to automatically delete what you find, though.
You can also scan for things like ssn's in datafiles laying around.
