Of course there are many borderline cases where it is not clear if a program is a virus or another kind of malware.

There are however a growing range of trojans and worms with different flavors of payloads. Recently there was a report of a "Macro Virus" for OpenOffice. However this is not a Linux issue it's an OO issue. However again, you are correct because throughout the last few years everything has been lumped into the term "Virus" and so it is not the defacto term used for these types of problems.... oh well just my ramblings.
