Realllllly bad example - I'm thinking of a virus attack right now...
and where are all the bounced viruses going ?

There are no bounces as they are rejected during the SMTP dialog. As the infected systems usually connect driectly to the intended recipients MX there is also no intermediate server that might generate a bounce (and eevn if there were such a system it should implement SPF checking too and thus reject the virus mail during SMTP dialog).
