I too have heard this rumor.  However I fail to see how a virus program
could live in the clock.  As far as I am aware, there's no NVR in the Amiga
except for the clock registers themselves, which are CHANGING constantly (as
time passes).

I know it's not a definitive answer, but I hope it helps a bit.
