You can get the same Windows viruses in VPC but I'd consider that a really rare occurence. For the useage that VPC gets, there's a lot less risk of infection. You don't normally use it all day surfing the net, checking email etc. The usual usage pattern of VPC is to run some niche program for a few hours at a time.

So, the risk is really small.

You can spread the Word macro viruses, but I don't think they are actually harmful on the Mac. From what I've heard they don't usually do anything at all on the Mac.
