Indeed, my DOS machine got infected by a Jazz Jackrabbit disk borrowed from a friend.

I had a text-mode launcher menu for running programs, and that had an "anti-virus" feature built-in that checksummed programs, and alerted you if their checksum ever changed (since these viruses spread by infecting .exes), which is how I found out about it!
