It occurs to me that a virus can not spread very fast or effectively if each
infected computer only sends 50 emails, because the infection rate is probably
similar to spam, i.e. < 0.005%.  So you would only get 1 new infection for 
each
20,000 emails sent, or thus for each 400 infected computers.  It seems the
virus would likely die (anti-virus actions) at that rate of spread.
