We use Trend Micro's ServerProtect in conjunction with OfficeScan Corporate Edition at most of my client's sites as well as our own here. Works with WinNT and Win2K Server, various flavors of Terminal Server, MetaFrame and MetaFrame XP, etc. There are version specifically for BackOffice environments that include SQL Server and Exchange AV components, the price is reasonable, pattern and AV software version control can be managed on both push and pull basis, with central administration of the AV components, a web-based AV manager, and lots more to like. Try www.antivirus.com - they're extremely helpful, and, as mentioned before, it's actually possible to uninstall their products!
