No, a virus is not even considered a life form. It’s basically just information, because it needs a host cell to replicate, it can’t do it on it’s own. The common ancestor of all multicellular organism was a single celled organism that grouped together to form a colonie of symbiosis. The stage of the early grouping together can be imagined by looking at a modern example, the multicellular organism ‘volvox’. And the ancestor of this bacteria-like thing was an even simpler bacteria, and then we get to a self-replicating macro molecule.
