A few common causes are;

1) Garbage disposal- the underside of the rubber gets full up smelly gunk.

2) A cracked Air handler drain pan leaking condensate into the bottom return air duct below.

3) A dried up P-trap from an unused bathroom or laundry tub.

4) A malfunctioning AVP trap under a sink.

I would check these things first. Hope this helps!
