I wouldn't go as far as to say because its not a virus its less resilient.
I wrote something once which had a simple purpose of not allowing a registry key to be modified, it was a rootkit, which hid itself from the OS (windows 2k at the time). Removing it would be quite tricky as there were no anti-patching technologies in the kernel at the time, vital files and their checksums had been modified. It wasn't a virus.
OSX has little in the way of protection, in fact the BSD security model doesn't offer any protection against superusers (not that NTs works, its more a bump in the road that often makes the nasty software developer make a mistake which the anti-virus firms will pick up on!).
To classify it as not a virus thus therefore not an issue is stupid to the extreme.
