Unfortunately, viruses are a part of orchid growing. Some times they will show signs...sometimes they never do. I've often heard when dealing w/any of them...unless they've tested negative...to assume a plant has a virus and treat accordingly.
You have a couple of options here. There's no cure for a virus so you can either pitch the plant...or, keep it and then take the necessary precautions to not spread it to any other plants.
Personally, I wouldn't test the rest. Others may have a different opinion though. I do as stated above...even though they don't show symptoms...I assume possible virus on all my plants and I make sure not to do anything that could pass it along.
Now, if a plant looks bad...flowers are showing breaks...or anything else that causes the plant to look ugly or deformed...I pitch it.
This is just me...perhaps others may have a different opinion.
