This is not current, but if it is to be believed (and without details on the 
methodology I'd be reluctant to believe it) clamav came 2nd after Karspersky:

This on the other hand is both current and more meaningful, because it 
includes zero day attacks:

ClamAV on linux comes 3rd for zero day attacks and 16th on retries.
