Most desktop Anti virus tools do not detect and locate malware and hacks in PHP, Image and JS files downloaded from a server
They have "some" detections of javascript based hacks that run in a browser, but that varies from anti-virus product to product.
You should not be assuming your desktop or server anti-virus check is going to locate all malware injected into a Joomla website... most of which is unique and never generated before randomly, and a lot that share the same PHP function names as genuine code written by genuine developers.
I have seen some hacks actually better coded than genuine code written by genuine developers haha.
Not all Joomla hacks are viruses. In fact, very very few are by definition, viruses.
