I use ClamAV on mail servers and deploy ClamWin to Windows users.  The biggest 
drawback and/or advantage to ClamWin is that it does not do on-access 
scanning, like most of the commercial variants.  Scheduling a nightly scan is 
relatively painless though and I think the performance benefit from not 
having the virus scanner constantly watching all disk activity is probably 
worth it.

The only other caveat to ClamWin is the abundance of updates that it requires 
manual intervention to update with.  It amounts to a quick download and 
several clicks on the "Next" button until it's done, but I would prefer if 
engine updates could be as automated as database updates.  It only notifies 
you (with a clickable link) to download new engine revisions.
