It would probably be possible, but I've never heard of it. DOC files can have scripts, PDF has had a few vulnerabilities over the years, even JPG covers can have a virus hidden in them. But what would be the point? The follow up messages would all warn everyone about it.
The idea that pirate content is full of viruses is just as laughable as the idea that pirate content is inferior to official content. But I can see why some would like everyone to think that both statements are true.
