Simple answer - don't worry. See other posts for why a linux user
should be bothered by viruses. (you are running as a user, and not as
root I assume)

More complex answrer - keep an eye on fedora extras -
http://www.fedora.us - who are about to relaunch very soon. There are
prebuilt clam-av rpms that I've seen in their repository that may
shortly be worth looking at.
