We have not found much, but a Google search returns: MacScan and iAntiVirus. The problem is we have no experience with Mac anti-spyware or any of these tools.

As far as I know, there are none in the wild, and even writing a proof-of-concept one is not simple. So, there may not be any need for such a thing.
