FWIW, I just downloaded f-prot version 3.16f (the last one) AND the
current SIGN and MACRO .DEF files (all Kermit'd over a 33K dial-up
line after encoding into base 64 since my ISP's Kermit doesn't support
binary mode, so about 20 megabytes total!) and ran it on my DOS 6.20
PC's 8 hard drives (3 real + 5 other partitions) and it found only one
file "DROP.COM" that it claimed "could be an image of a boot-sector
virus".
Yes, I recently updated my copy of F-Prot for DOS, and I was
personally surprised how much bigger (+ 10 MB) the SIGN.DEF had gotten
in the past year. A bit bloated, yes, but F-Prot is still supposedly
pretty good.
As far as replacements, there are only a few, but one good one
(heuristics-based, I think) may be RHBVS:
http://come.to/rose_swe (hmmm, seems to be down, strange)
ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/avir/rhbvs465.zip
Or (commercial) Dr. Web, which still supports DOS target:
http://download.drweb.com/cl/ (cmdline versions for DOS, OS/2,
Win32)
ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/avir/drwebdos.zip
BTW, the Slovak Antivirus Center, mentioned above, seems to have lots
of stuff, so it's worth browsing around there, IMO. For example:
ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/avmuseum/avsrcdos.zip (707k, "Collection
of DOS based antivirus programs with src")
Also, if you download stuff and then transfer it to a separate DOS
machine, maybe you'll like using online scanners:

Good luck!
