Short answer: No.
Antivirals inhibit the lytic cycle of viruses. malaria is caused by the protist Plasmodium. Technically, viruses aren't even alive, while protists are eukaryotes (nucleus-containing cells) like us. Thus, the two are extremely different.
The number of drugs that are used as antimalarials or antivirals is too high to be worth going over. Quinine, chloroquine, and sulfadoxine are examples of antimalarials. Antiviral classes include entry inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors, integrase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, and neuraminidase inhibitors (that last one is specific to influenza).
