A note for everybody asking "why on earth does anybody run this software": When my company had to get corporate liability insurance in 2007/2008, the actual insurance contract stipulated "having AV installed on all machines". We did solve it by having an unused folder with ClamAV on every box, but I was impressed by the fact that AV is pretty much legally mandated for enterprises.

This is very common in boilerplate enterprise contracts. They will often have provisions about compliance with certain security and disaster recovery standards.
