The only obvious thing about uTorrent, which might allow for a possible virus attack, is that they are showing 3rd party advertisements in the client.
Depending on how this works it may allow specially crafted advertisements to be harmful.
uTorrent may use their own code to display the add, which may have security holes.
Or they may be using Internet Explorer in a frame, which would make it vurnable to any unpatched Internet Explorer problems.
Other than this, the virus would be in the data you download, which has nothing to do with the client you are using. Also it would not become active while you are downloading it, only if you execute it later on (which makes it a 'trojan').
