Plesk has own antivirus components for mail server. But if you mean antivirus protection on filesystem level - look at clamav. I heard that many people have successfully installed and configure it on Plesk servers for these purposes.

Yeah, I'm using ClamAV for mail and folder scans, reading the feature request at Plesk's uservoice for ClamAV someone mentioned it can be configured to scan ftp uploads too...

Thats pretty easy:

- replace the plesk standard proftd by the one from atomic, centos 6 is at http://updates.atomicorp.com/channels/atomic/centos/6/x86_64/RPMS/
- add the following to /etc/proftpd.conf (at the top, above the Global section)

<IfModule mod_clamav.c>
ClamAV on
ClamServer localhost
ClamPort 3310
#ClamMaxSize 250 Mb
</IfModule>

done.

maybe you want to create some test to see if plesk overwites the proftp version or proftpd config.

added bonus: the atomic version more up-to-date then the plesk version.

And while you are at it, you might want to expand the clamav rules. There are scripts for auto download, but be carefull not to add rule sets that have a high false positives rate.
