Someone could theoretically bundle a virus with a game and run it with a build event. However, in that case Visual C# will display a stern security warning when you open the project. Provided that you aren't stupid and heed the warning, there's no chance you would get a virus.
Moreover, it would be impossible for an ordinary XNA game to do much of anything to your Zune that would affect it after the game is exited. Also, all traces of a game are eliminated when it is uninstalled, so there isn't really any chance of a Zune virus either.
Instead of worrying about getting a virus, just download games with impunity and enjoy this awesome functionality.
