It wasn't the AmigaOS running in the emulator that they were worried about, it was the Windows system running the emulator. (Not that the average IT auditor there could have understood the difference.)

How would a virus get in there?
If it were a newer version of NT I'd be concerned about USB media, but being NT 4.0 and not supporting USB it's imminently more capable of being air-gapped than later versions. (I recall a fun Ed Skoudis quote-- "At best, an air gap is a high-latency connection". Evidence Stuxnet.)
The auditor probably doesn't know nor care. "Every windows machine runs antivirus" is a checkbox item, zero thought involved.
