Of course.
To the "remote" machine the VPN connection is simply a nice hole in
your corporate firewall. It's not called a "tunnel" for nothing...
Whether a virus at the far end of a VPN connection can/will _infect_
anything "internal" depends on how up-to-date your internal AV is
relative to the virus, how the virus infects and precisely how your
antivirus works and is configured.
