Well, you could install AVG or clamAV but there's is not point of having it since it's not 'runtime' scanning, it's a 'right click, click scan' type of scanning, plus its database consists of windows malware. Very few viruses exist for linux compared to windows, and the chances of you getting infected are really, really low. For the firewall, linux has iptables, and firewalls like firestarter are actually GUI to configure the iptables (I may be wrong). Nevertheless, I suggest you use firestarter to configure it, it works great for me and my speed does not suffer from it. It also has a nifty icmp filtering option.
