Can plants get viruses or transmit them?

Yep! In fact, the first virus to be discovered attacked tobacco plants, the tobacco mosaic virus.

Plant viruses do have to figure out how to get through cell walls, and they have to be able to spread without relying on their hosts moving around, so they're a bit different from viruses who go after animals.
