snort_inline with if_bridge provides a bit of this functionality.
You drop all incoming off at a socket which you have snort
listening on. It's then logged and reinserted if it passes the
rules that snort.org provides. You can decide if you want
to drop the traffic or not, by default it's just logged. I don't
use it to catch viruses so I don't watch how effective it is.
For me it's a filtering mechanism to match custom rules.

There is a document that can be googled on the net
concerning this. It shows most of the config but says you
can't use it with if_bridge which you can. I don't have a 7.2
instance but it works well on 7.0. Even with horrendous
amounts of traffic it seems to remain reliable.

 =46rom memory (may be inaccurate), if you want to filter
bi-directionally, you have to run two instances on different
sockets with two different IPFW rules, one for each interface.

I only have experience using this with IPFW.
