There's no need for any AV software to run on the desktops, since there aren't 
any viable Linux viruses.  You should probably still run clam on your mail 
server, though.

Most of your headaches are likely to come from users doing questionable 
things, so you should make sure you back up their data vigorously.

If you're concerned about nefarious deeds, I'd recommend a HIDS (ie. Tripwire, 
AIDE), or if you use Debian, something like Debsums+Tiger.  That should 
reveal any monkey business.
