Ok it wont let you link right to the report you have to click comparatives and then the two tests at the bottom.
Remember these are only the paid for verisons not the free ones.

http://www.av-comparatives.org/ will show you the comparisons and detection rates, the eicar test from Sly Old Mole will test you AV to see if it works.
A good antivirus will block the download of the eicar files, more details can be found here:

There is also Free v Paid AntiVirus:
Many, but not all, of the free versions have less functionality. The virus definitions are the same in both the free version and the paid version. For many vendors, they hope that you will upgrade to the paid version.
Example from Avast and AVG Free v. Paid:

If you want to choose the anti-virus with the best detection rate.
You must understand that best detection rates have 3 interpretation.
Detection rates against KNOWN viruses ?
Detection rates against UNKNOWN viruses ?
Detection rates against FALSE POSITIVE ?
So far the big companies didn’t impress me.
Another guy here sent 3 trojan viruses and many anti-virus program fail to detect them.
