Do you mean is there a risk of the virus moving between your machines?

Very little risk at all.

There'd need to be a file transfer between the machines--and there is a
file-transfer mechanism in Remote Assistance, but it is very explicit--has a
separate UI and all--not something that is going to happen by accident, or
that the virus could trigger by itself.
