ClamXAv is the only free virus scanner for OSX that I have found. I've had a lot of problems keeping it working, too. However, I have also never had any problems with virii on my Mac, either :)

But since you are using it for the good those not using macs, try running this at the command line (Applications/Utilities/Terminal):

cd Desktop
wget http://www.markallan.co.uk/clamXav/ClamXav_1.0.1.dmg

That should download it to the desktop without having to go through the browser.
