I am reasonably certain that it doesn't run on your Nokia and don't see any third party adaptations or tools at the bottom of this page available for your phone

But there are 358,990 signatures that identify all types of Android malware. You would therefore need to run it on a computer subscribed to your email account to catch any attachments and if your phone is backed up to the computer, it should also report the presence of any malicious apps that you have installed on the phone.

There could also be some 3rd party UNOFFICIAL signature available for android, but I'm not familiar enough with them to know.
