I remember a very good test in a German computer magazine (c't) about that topic. Recognition rates for the various worms and types of viruses vary and the time definition updates take. You can combine ClamAV with a commercial product. For instance speaking about anti-virus protection on a mail server you can easily do with a milter like MimeDefang which supports a lot of products.
