I have always heard not to use antivirus on Linux but I saw the post about a guy getting a RAT exploit backdoored through wine and it had me thinking should I be using ClamAV or some other antivirus for Linux?

If that RAT post was real, it was done by pros and it’s by a miracle alone a definition for their trojan was in ClamAV, which never has bleeding edge definitions. If you’re actually concerned about that kind of thing, running wine in its own limited permissions user account (or not at all) is going to be better protection than relying on AV definitions.
