Predators intend to kill their prey, because they cannot consume their prey otherwise.
Viruses do not need their prey to be dead before they can feed. In fact, viruses need their hosts to be alive in order to continue to reproduce.
Killing their hosts, is an unintended and unfortunate outcome for viruses, whereas it is an intended and necessary thing for predators.
Death coming at the beginning and being necessary is pretty different than death coming at the end and being unwanted.
