I suppose if there was a wine config that had an appropriate dosdevice setup for the boot sector then it’d be able to write to it, but wine doesn’t need to boot so I don’t think that would do anything.
They simply can’t because its designed to do that on windows not on Linux because they are different. Plus use ClamAV and you should be good. (I am not an expert in this)
Can only access Wine’s directory not your actual Linux files
And the viruses that write themselves to the boot sectors of the hard drive?

That’s just not true in many cases. It can usually access your home directory.
Nope. With a stock wine prefix it can access anything you have the permission to access. Your FS root is mapped to the
Z:\drive by default.
