No.
A virus (virion) is technically not a living organism. This is because it is incapable of normal metabolic processes including reproduction (cellular division) and respiration. Viruses are only able to replicate or respire if the cell they infect is undergoing those processes itself, since the virus does not produce or contain the necessary proteins (it uses the host cell's). A dead multicellular organism does not undergo respiration or reproduction, or other metabolic process, either, mainly because there is no oxygen available to produce the necessary NTPs (ATP, GTP etc). Since the host cells are not undergoing these vital metabolic processes (they are dead), the virus can't either. Even if a virus mutated enough to produce its own proteins (which is pretty much impossible), dead multicellular organisms would not be able to provide the necessary oxygen. As a result it is biologically impossible for any true virus to reanimate a dead corpse.
In short, viruses (virions) are not 'alive', so are unable to bring life to a dead cell.

How do you start the apocolypse?
you can create a zombie by creating a virus (very unlikely) able to kill someone then reanimate there body as a corpse that is mindless, but still thinks to feed. Chances are the virus would have to contain some kind of poison able to kill some one, but leave there body (after dead) uncontaminated to the point where bodily functions will still re-operate. Some poison would remain to change a victim after contact with the blood. Scientist have created something to make a person brain dead as if they were a zombie, but the project has not proceeded in a while.
