Trillian is awsome and they just released a new free version to the android market yesterday...(it was 5 bucks). Supposedly there are ads in the chat windows but I don't see them - might be because I have the android adblock thingy. On my windows machine I have my facebook, myspace, foursquare, twitter, 2 ICQ's, 2 MSN messenger's, AIM, 2 Yahoo Messenger's, and 2 Google talk's all setup with it - so 13 different accounts 1 program. You can create meta contacts which is nice too.

If I remember right:
AOL Instant Messenger
Bonjour
Google Talk
ICQ
IRC
Jabber/XMPP
scheuelerVZ
Skype
VZ
Windows Live Messenger
Yahoo Messenger
Facebook
Foursquare
LinkedIn
MySpaceIM
Twitter
IMAP
POP3

...plus there are others with plugins & you can have multiple accounts for each protocall. No banner ads in the windows version.
