There is no such thing as the "SCID virus". SCID stands for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disorder and is a congenital genetic defect in which the immune system of the foal does not develop. The foal is born with a very weak immune system that will never get better and often dies within the first year of life. This genetic disorder appears to be more common in Arabian horses.

Technically horses with SCID, specifically Arabians are not born with a virus. SCID is actually a genetic defect on chromosome #9. The answer of no immune system is correct in a SCID horse with this autosomal recessive defect can not produce T and B-lymphocytes, which are part of a healthy immune system. An SCID foal will die within weeks but most likely before five months of age, because they can not fight off infection. Infection can come from: bacteria, viruses, fungus. With a careful breeding plan, the birth of an SCID foal can be prevented. no immune systym
