Greetings,
Is there a simple way to scan my iphone for a potential viruses? I am not experiencing any specific issues with my phone, but I
thought a virus scan might be a wise thing to do. Or should I wait until I have an issue?

Usually when a smartphone is infected with malware there most likely will be obvious indications (signs of infection) and malware symptoms that something is wrong.
Security vendors who sell antivirus products will tell you smartphones need their software for complete protection but if you engage in "Smart Phone Best Practices", then I would say an antivirus is unnecessary.
