When Wily made the virus and inserted into Zero to make him and any reploid he comes in contact with turn Maverick, it didn't have a specific name; it was just called "virus".

Sigma Virus wasn't known until after Sigma started his rebellion, using the virus within himself to strengthen their negative thoughts and give them a reason to rebel against humans.

Oh no, not another debate over whether the virus changed or just its name...
Oh Dear...

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Was the Virus mutated? It became Sigma and Sigma became it.
This.

As for how it got spread, I can't comment until someone can verify on when Zero actually started roaming around.

-Cain’s journal entry of December 10:
Sigma has been commanding the Maverick Hunters for about two years now. The actions of Sigma and his staff of Hunters have stopped Irregulars from harming humans. According to Cain it’s time everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Dr. Cain is a bit concerned about X. X seems to lack the self-confidence to progress on the course Dr. Light planned for him. But Dr. Cain is also sure that, with time, X will find his own path in life. (US: Sigma has been commanding the Maverick Hunters for about two months now, May 16)

-Zero is discovered and awakened from his seal by the intrusion of Reploids (Most likely Garma’s unit of Maverick Hunters) near the place in which he was sleeping. He is officially discovered in the same area where X and other ancient technology was also discovered, an area that because of this was made forbidden, giving it the name of “Forbidden Area.”
=>
-After wiping out Garma’s unit, Maverick Hunters succeed in cornering Zero inside of an abandoned warehouse in the Rocky Mountains. To avoid sacrificing any more men, Sigma decides to face this red Maverick by himself. During the battle, Zero tatters Sigma’s pride and self-confidence, taking great pleasure in torturing Sigma after having ripped off one of his arms in combat. Sigma eventually manages to get the upper hand by punching Zero in the head as Zero experiences a mysterious headache phenomena, displaying a “W” inside of his helmet gem. As a result of this battle the Sigma Virus transfers from Zero to Sigma. After the battle Sigma orders the red Maverick to be brought to Dr. Cain for study.
=>
-After Dr. Cain’s study, Zero awakens and shows no sign of Maverick behavior. Zero has miraculously transformed into a good Reploid and forgotten about his original objective to destroy X. Sigma takes Zero under his watch and Zero joins the Maverick Hunters, eventually becoming an SA-rank Hunter part of Sigma’s 17th Elite.

But I thought Zero originally had the Zero Virus within himself, not the Sigma Virus.  The latter was made when Zero accidentally infected Sigma, if X4 is anything to go by...

The virus had no known name when Zero was the carrier. However, since it's the same virus which became the Sigma Virus, it's still referred to as the Sigma Virus to denote the relation.

The Zero Virus is a more potent version of the Sigma Virus created during the Earth Crisis (X5). This is a new strain, not necessarily the same as the virus which Zero was originally infected with.

When Wily made the virus and inserted into Zero to make him and any reploid he comes in contact with turn Maverick, it didn't have a specific name; it was just called "virus".

Sigma Virus wasn't known until after Sigma started his rebellion, using the virus within himself to strengthen their negative thoughts and give them a reason to rebel against humans.

Both Zero and the virus were created before Reploids even existed. The original purpose of the virus wasn't to infect other machines, but to give Zero the power and drive to accomplish his mission: destroy Dr. Light's greatest creation.

The Sigma Virus became known when Doppler revealed its existence to X. The virus affects Reploids to varying degrees and Sigma may cause different effects with it. Reploids may be driven to follow Sigma's will or simply go haywire as the line between logic and emotion is blurred by the virus.

This.

As for how it got spread, I can't comment until someone can verify on when Zero actually started roaming around.

The virus was spread when Sigma started using it to infect other Reploids and machines.

The "Sigma" part that is. It's been known as "the irregular Virus" during X2 and the majority of X3.

Obviously nobody in the setting quite got the hint that wireframe bosses with Sigma's face and saber skills are the virus and innately related to him.
