Microsoft may not but I can. :)
I've used AVG on IIS servers with no troubles. Free for personal use.
Personally, I don't use an on-access virus scanner, just run one on a
regular basis. Realistically, for a server not running SMTP and where
users aren't browsing from it, the chances of virus infection are low
if the system is properly secured.
If you run SMTP/POP then you should use an on-access scanner for the
queue folders.
