Will a router transfer virus to the other computer?

It will, if you (or the virus) tells it to. However, even if a virus is transferred to another computer it will not run on that computer unless you or another program executes it, or unless the virus is able to exploit some security vulnerability in another program in order to run. A router will not transfer viruses to another computer on its own.
