Mount it with ntfs-3g, scan it with clam after updating the virus signatures 
(freshclam) and then remove or copy away infected files.

Alternatively, it may be possible to dd the partition and pipe it to clam (not 
sure if this will work with a whole partition instead of a file) using 
something like:

dd if=/dev/sda1 | clamscan -


Alternatively, you can use Knoppix and Fprot, bitdefender and clam.

Or, you can use the many LiveCDs and Live-USBs that Kaspersky, BitDefender, et 
al are producing these days.
