The author considers the generalizations of two integrable equations in two space dimensions having infinite-dimensional symmetry algebras with a specific Kac-Moody-Virasoro (KMV) structure. The first one is the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation containing 9 arbitrary functions of one and two arguments, the second is the Davey-Stewartson system depending on some physical parameters. For both systems the cases are determined when these equations admit an infinite-dimensional group of symmetries the Lie algebra of which has a KMV structure. This requirement impose restrictions on the coefficients.
