Virus or malware is usually activated by clicking on a link or opening
an attachment. Just viewing a message will do nothing. And even though
Linux is not immune to viruses, it is highly unlikely that this could
happen anyway.

If you don't accept a read receipt, and leave Evolution set to the
default setting to never load remote content from the Internet, there
is no chance that a spammer will know that you have opened the message.
