No. The carbon disulphide is not a corrosive reagent and generally doesn't attack metals. Also copper is quite unreactive and so wouldn't be susceptible to a reaction.

Easy to find out experimentally. Put some Cu wire in CS2 and see if it goes black. The black would be CuS. I distil my own vodka. I put a plug of copper wool in the outflow to remove the sulphur compounds which give the spirit a foul taste. After each use, you have to remove the black CuS with acid. That's why traditional whisky and brandy stills are made of copper. It works like magic. Using the copper wool vastly improves the smell and taste.

i don't think CS2 reacts with copper at room temp and pressure but it might react at high temp and pressure
