As someone else pointed out:

        - Mainframes don't run Windows
        - They don't even have Intel or AMD processors in them
        - On a real mainframe, you'd be hard pressed to even run Linux on it 
(except maybe in a special VM the mainframe presented to you)

I don't know what you saw, but it most definitely wasn't "a windows virus on a 
mainframe".
