Do you need Exchange Enterprise to do SCR and/or CCR?

SCC and CCR are only supported in production on the Enterprise Edition of Exchange 2007.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232170(EXCHG.80).aspx

SCR is available in the Standard Edition of Exchange 2007 SP1. If a Mailbox server in an SCC or CCR environment is used as the SCR source, the Enterprise Edition of Exchange 2007 SP1 is required because Enterprise Edition is required when clustering Exchange 2007. If a standby cluster is being used as the SCR target, the Enterprise Edition of Exchange 2007 SP1 is also required.

A simplistic view; if you're running a single SCR Source server on standard edition, then your SCR target can be standard as well.

Remember Exchange 2007 standard edition only allows 5 databases.

Thank you guys!

Another thing, If I have a Mailbox Server and a combined CAS & HT Server, where does the antivirus software go? Should it be the mailbox server or the HT server, or maybe the CAS server?

That�s a sensitive question and one you or your management and/or security team would have to answer. Personally, since all traffic(even local delivery) is transported across the HT server I would run it there and remove the load off my mailbox servers.

Another possibility is to implement AV on the mailbox server as well, but disable the real-time scan and perform a manual trawl once a week as an additional check.

I would recommend have an Exchange Aware AV on Hub & Edge role since at that location the emails gets received / sent - in other words processed completely.

What you could install on mailbox role then ?
Simple File-Level AV - since you would already have Exchange 2007 Anti-Spam Agent so that should clean some mess + Hub role AV.

Forefront has transport scanning and store scanning, the latter of which contains both realtime and manual scans.
