I know there are some command line virus/malware scanners for Linux?
It has been long time ago since I run any of them, that I forgot their names :-/
What are they?

This sounds like something Google can answer for you rather quicker
than any mailing list could; but off the top of my head: ClamAV (which
is in the portage tree under app-antivirus/) is a pretty common one;
plus I think there are linux versions of both AVG and Avast.

There are probably others that Google can help you find.

Here is one that I have used in the past.

It's no longer in the tree so not sure how difficult it would be to
install.
