MAB,

I believe that viruses can be as small as hundredths of a micron (IIRC, polio runs around .005 microns). About the only thing that removes something that small from a water supply is reverse osmosis, I think. It seems to me that your options would be to invest in a fairly expensive RO set, or simply filter and then treat your water.
