Where can I learn more about virus architecture/blackhat in general? Are there any defacto communities out there for this sort of thing? Just curious.

Hacking has existed since before the internet was invented. In general you want to do a lot of reading on TCP/IP, operating systems and programming languages. There are literally tons of whitepapers about security.

Blackhat communities are either very private or full of script kiddies.

You can follow subs like this to learn more http://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/

I would suspect communities concerned with illegal activities and state-of-the-art (0-day) code not to be easily accessible. There must be some on TOR.

It's pretty trivial to work your way into the community. Botherders and most small-time blackhats are incredibly gullible and egocentric.
