Dr.Web (www.drweb.com) once ago announced Java based management console 
for their corporate edition antivirus.

I don't like them much, I'm pretty fed up with running their antivirus for 
checking e-mail (and I'm happy with ClamAV since I replaced drweb with 
clamav :-), they are good programmers, but management is not very good. 
But if You pay money, probably they will pay more attention to your 
requests :-)
