No, not at all...Viruses don't even consist of a single cell, much less a body that can regulate temperature. Viruses are pretty much inert inactive particles that can only reproduce when they infect a cell of some other organism.

Viruses don't really have an internal environment. They are pretty much just an RNA chain with a protein shell. No body, no organs, they are not even cells.

endothermia is pretty difficult thing to achieve until now only birds and mammals developed it /and dinosaurs maybe/ you need energy stores to be released, some organellas to release the energy, and enviroment that posses some thermal momentum -keep in mind that the larger the animal is, the longer it keeps its internal temperature.
viruses possess none of these, they are virtually not living organisms on their own, they need a carrier to spread their genes.

No. viruses are non cellular and they are completely inert outside of a living cell. so homeostasis is unlikely.
