I think it has something to do with them knowing they are weaker, and so they hide so that nobody will see them attack or what have you.

They dont like light and want to rest. When they are under a bed they are hidden and so theyre level of stress goes down allowing them to heal faster and more adequetly. Its completely normal. My Terrier got sick once and he just kept hiding other a couch till he got bettter

It's a comfort thing. They are retreating to a den-like place. Crate training works on the same principle. If you create a comfortable place for your dog to rest and sleep, and don't use the crate as a punishment tool, your dog will WANT to go to his crate a retreat. And because he likens it to his home, he won't want to mess it up ie go to the bathroom in the crate.

Instinct. In the wild who gets killed and eaten? The weak, sick, and injured. Hiding is a self-defense mechanism.
