The major one I feel is worth mentioning, is resource consumption. I trialed
Kaspersky on several boxes a while back and on all of them there was a very
noticeable resource drain. Its scanning engine is aggressive enough to make
mundane tasks such as opening up the start menu or add/remove programs can
take several times longer than usual. The start menu was a bit sporadic
(depending on caching I guess) while add/remove programs was consistent on
all machines. Opening up folders also tended to take quite a while at times,
probably due to KAV scanning files as they were accessed for icon retrieval,
is my guess.
If it hadn't been for that one issue, I would be a KAV owner today. It's a
very nice product if you don't mind/notice the slowdown.

NOD32 for Windows cant clean viruses contained in an archive, it can only detect them.
The DOS version of NOD32 can clean archives though. The following taken from FAQ on the NOD32 site:
NOD32 scanner detected a virus, but the only available option is Leave
1.. The virus was detected in an archive.
NOD32 is not capable of taking actions on the files within an archive. Therefore, please delete the whole archive manually if it contains only the virus, or use the appropriate unpacker such as WinZIP, WinRAR, etc. to delete the particular infected file in case the archive contains also other non-viral files.
