Amavis is a combined spam/virus scanner, it uses external programs for 
this and is able to use multiple programs also so you can say run sophos
AND clamAV for virus scanning while using spamassassin AND dcc for spam 
filtering, works very very well in my experience.

I used it both on my personal mail server and the student mail server 
there at work (along with mimedefang for attachment pruning and a boiler 
plate).

I would highly recomend it.
