There aren't too many, because asteroids weren't discovered until the Nineteenth Century, well past the prime superstition-generating decades. Comets, now, which were visible to the untutored public for many ages, did generate a wealth of (mainly dire) superstititions.

Probably the only "superstition" of note about asteroids is that they are the remnants of an exploded planet, possibly one harboring a highly technological civilization. They aren't; their combined mass is too slight to have ever formed an Earth- (or even Mercury-) sized world, although the biggest of them, Ceres, is now honored along with Pluto as a "dwarf planet."
