I usualy use f-prot for dos and run it from cmd line. I know some other programs have dos versions, but I don't know if you can run it from the recovery console.
You can download f-prot http://www.f-prot.com/download/download_fpdos.html

If the partition is FAT32, you can simply boot off of the Norton 2001/2002 CD, although the virus defs will only be as current as the CD...
If the parition is fat32 you can use Navdx (nav dos) from any norton. Download inteligent updater for the product, dos veriasonl then you can extract the updated definitions. then boot to win98 boot disk.
you can also do this on ntfs is you use NTFSDOSPRO from www.sysinternals.com . They have a read only free triasl, should let you at least scan it and find if its infected, although it wont be able to repair unless you buy the full versiion.
the other way (which is preferred) Stick the drive in another nt/2000/XP machine that has AV software running, and merely scan the disk. thats what i do with NTFS drives.

If this server is a production box, I would format and restore from a good backup
