I have used almost all antivirus programs, on windows, on linux and on Mac as well. Being someone who has weighed the pros and cons of almost all antiviruses, I would say, without hesitation, that the best of the lot is Comodo.

I am sure people will hastily step in to correct me, but basically if you are using an OSX Mac you probably don't reall need anti-virus software +for your own purposes+ (see below). There was a recent post on this. Mac viruses are predominantly an issue with pre-OSX and as far as I am aware, the basically aren't any affecting OSX.
Some exceptions. If you are running Windows as a subsystem then viruses can still affect your computer through activity in Windows. I'm not sure, but maybe the same things applies to Classic (??), though virus writers really didn't focus on the Mac community and in many years of running OS9 natively my computer virus checker software never found a virus.
The other big exception is macro viruses which can run through Microsoft Office programs like Windows and Excel. The easiest way to deal with this is to not allow macros to run unless you specifically activate them, and then to make sure you know their origin, trust the person, etc.
The main reason why you might want to run a virus checker is to protect your PC-running buddies who can still be affected by a virus. If you get a virus-infected file and then pass on the file to somebody else running a PC then they might blame you for infecting their PC. ClamXav seems to be developed with this in mind.
