Try the yahoo screener: http://screener.finance.yahoo.com/newscreener.html

The java version will run on windows/osx/linux and you can download to a csv.

Edit: the java version no longer works.

This link is the best yahoo has. https://screener.finance.yahoo.com/stocks.html

Quandl has all of this data as well so people can generate their own data.
