Any malware may not attack a given system if it is targetted to a specific system. Unix systems are vulnerable to viruses and malware just as other systems are.

Why is it difficult to port software designed for UNIX to Linux?
In general, no, it is not difficult at all. As long as you stick to the POSIX (and other open standards) and use a conformant compiler for the software there shouldn't be any problem in porting software. I do it all the time - from Linux to Unix, or Unix to Linux, makes no difference. In fact, a lot of common software is cognizant of the actual Operating System at compile time and will take care of the differences (if there are any).
What are 2 antivirus software packages are available for Linux?
Linux is pretty good at Virus protection by itself. But you can get ClamAv, or any of the big name Anti-Virus programs for it.
Why is Linux more protected from viruses?

Do you need a Linux or Unix operating system to hack?
No. Hacking, depending on your definition, can be done from almost any operating system.
What are the commands used in Linux but not in Unix?
There is no answer to this question. Under UNIX and Linux, commands are either shell native or external programs found on the path (which usually includes /bin /sbin /usr/bin and ~/bin) Most UNIX and distros allow the admin to choose a shell program of choice and modify the contents of other directories and many admins allow individual users to change their personal shell and add additional executable files adding more commands. That being the case, theoretically any command can be valid under almost any UNIX or Linux. YMMV.
