There are definitely viruses on Macs, just not a lot of them. This is only because virus/spyware makers go where the people go and usually that's PCs. Linux has a microscopic percentage of the overall desktop users so virus makers don't target them. As Macs get more popular, you'll start seeing more malware written for Macs.

So yes an android phone is Linux/unix based, but as it gets more popular, more people will write malware for it.
