Can Opening An Email Get A Virus On Your Computer?

I recently just recieved an email in my spam folder that I was curious about because it had no sender name or subject, how can I tell if it downloaded any crap on my computer? I have AVAST and scaned my computer for any spyware from the software that came with the computer, and I was just wondering if those could detect if anything downloaded on my computer. Thanks!
