I would recommend installing it on the BE server, not the FE server.
With the antivirus installed on the BE server, you can do a periodic
scan of the information store to clean out any viruses that might have
snuck in before an update to your virus definiations. Also if you only
have anti-virus on the FE server, someone could launch a virus internal
to Exchange and you would be unprotected.
Anti-Spam should be OK only on the FE server. However, many of these
products are licensed by number of mailboxes so I would be inclined to
place it in both places.
We currently do not run Anti-Spam on Exchange, but I would look at the
Microsoft Intelligent Messaging Filter. For Anti-Virus we use Tren on
our Exchang servers and are very happy with it. There are others out
there that work equally well.
