Oh, I dunno, the usual I guess. Scanned for viruses, updated itself to current virus definitions. Should I expect anything else?

Found any viruses?

Put working AV products on the Windows boxes and don't waste the resources, time and effort on ClamAV.

No. Which means either it's not working or my QNAP has none. Does that help?

Yeah I think so. From what I've read, cav has more value on a mail server.

From what I've read, it has almost zero value.

I mean, it might protect you from as much as 50-60% of viruses, but simply not downloading from dodgy sites and not opening unsolicited attachments has a higher protection rate than that.
