No, Linux cannot be infected with Windoze-specific viruses.  I will not
swear to how well Explore2fs on XP works, however.  It may corrupt an
ext2/ext3 filesystem in the same way the Linux write-enabled ntfs
module may corrupt an NTFS filesystem.  The lowest, reliable common
denominator is FAT32 or VFAT used as a conduit between the two systems.
They both know about it, it's fairly old and stable technology and it
works.
