I've tried a few 3rd party command-line ports of ClamAV that run on 
Windows NT, and I'd presume Windows 2000. ClamWin, another 3rd party 
port, doesn't, but that's only because of the GUI wrapper.

I haven't tried the official Win32 port of ClamAV on Windows NT, but I'd 
bet that it would work. Open source tends to be far more supportive of 
old versions of Windows - especially the cross platform projects - 
compared to commercial vendors. A notable exception is Mozilla dropping 
NT support in Firefox and Thunderbird 3.0, though they supported it for 
a long time.
