Lots of problems with that statement. First, emails are almost never infected with viruses. It's the attachments they come with that pose any danger. Second, he's using a Mac, which would be immune to any viruses. And third, he's using Gmail. Gmail has built-in virus protection, and it would be impossible to execute code (which is how a virus would have to do anything) via a web-based mail service.
