To be clear: the Windows partition running Windows is susceptible to Windows malware. This much should be obvious.
Whether the malware can affect the Mac OS partition is up for debate, but seeing as -- at the moment -- Windows cannot access the Mac partition at all, the chances of it destroying Mac data are slim. The chances of Windows malware actually executing code when the Mac OS is running are even slimmer.
