First, Linux is not 100% safe. There is no guarantee that it will not affected by the virus. The possibility and rate is very low compare to any other operating system.
There is some reason behind this. Most of the Linux use for server and those people who maintain server know enough about security and all the people who use Linux for personal computer know what they are doing so this is a reason also. This system will require access installing.
The antivirus of most Linux software focuses on the removal of Windows viruses and will function as a one-time-scan tool rather than the Windows-style which is known as the sit-in-your-tray-and-protect-you products which is very common in Windows.
This software is not really essential for Linux users but they come pretty handy.
