No, anti-virus isn't needed on any S60 v3 phone. 
I've been looking for cool software/games recently and here's my findings:
Quake (fantastic port, surprisingly playable)
WiiRider (Use a WiiMote to control your phone!)
Fring (VOIP/IM)
Global Race (3D racing game)
Orb (remote media streamer)
Sling Player (costs $20 but really good if you've already got a Slingbox)
I hope this helps.

The free sports tracker on the downloads page is pretty nifty.
Opera Mini 4 beta is a solid browser, and has its strengths over the Symbian browser, but isn't necessarily better.
MGMaps - Mapping software that uses Google Maps, MSN Maps, Yahoo Maps (and satellite). In theory free navigation, but doesn't work for me.
Google Mail - good if you have a Gmail account, and arguably better than using the native email client.
As above, Fring is good (although it has its quirks).

Symbian v9 (and S60 v3 that's built on top of it) uses a signing scheme for potentially harmful functionality.
If an author wants to write an application that, for example, uses Bluetooth or SMS then they need to submit it to a test house to make sure that they aren't doing anything nefarious. Only applications signed with a certificate will run.
A virus writer would have to get their virus signed somehow, which is very very very unlikely.
