I yum installed clamav., and updated the databse.
I will also try Bitdefender, suggested by Thomas Taylor.
So far, clamav has not found anything in the mounted windows partition.
That could be good news or bad news :) :)
AFAIK, ClamAV (the engine of.) is more efficient then all AV software

To install ClamAV on Fedora or RHEL (through EPEL) (as root):
yum clamav-filesystem clamav-data clamav-lib clamav-update
Update AV DB (as root):
freshclam
