Brint, we've been doing this in Apple2-L for a while.  The answer is to have
managers check each file before it's permitted out to the masses.  I do this
with every file I get off from anywhere.  Will a nasty virus do me in
someday?  Well, possibly.  But, hopefully, I'll be insulating my site
and all of its users from harm.  I usually do not permit files out on
my host until a month after I get them and put them through the test.
Haven't been hit with anything nasty yet, (knock very loudly on wood).
