I believe that depends on how you forward it. To recap,
1) You can specify external account(s) as the recipients when you set up an alias. When you do this, the Fastmail MX servers will redirect the messages targeting that alias after minimal processing, and without going through virus checks.
2) Alternatively, you can forward messages using the sieve script (or, more commonly, using rules to generate the appropriate sieve code). When you do this, the message has passed through the virus checks before hitting the sieve script.
