Are you doing the AV scans in safe mode?

Can you boot from DVD or from another HD?

Me, I'd boot from a Linux live cd remaster with an updated ClamAV, run a Win AV program in wine, or put the HD into another computer as nonboot disk and scan it with an installed and updated AV program after booting the second computer. Because the infected drive is not accessed on boot in this situation, the virus should be easier to eliminate.

Good luck.
