Just did a quick Google and found this list:
http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php

They mention two LiveCD distributions that have Windows Antivirus built in:
Chromium : http://www.antesis.org/index.php?lang=en
LinuxDefender Live! :
http://www.bitdefender.com/bd/site/presscenter.php?menu_id=25&n_id=58

I've never used either of them so your mileage may vary...
