I wouldn't focus blame on any one theme or plug-in, this is a "nature of the beast" scenario with WordPress. This is why it's crucial to have any WordPress installations set up in an environment where any malicious injections will not impact other sites. It's also crucial to make sure WordPress, themes and plug-ins are updated at all times.
There is a very common practice of "build and forget" in the affiliate marketing industry. Unfortunately with WordPress this is a disaster waiting to happen because there are so many vulnerabilities. The best way to prevent mass disaster is creating a proper environment as mentioned above and updating religiously. Even this does not guarantee victory.
As the old saying goes "it is what it is." Take the best precautions you can, do the best maintenance you can and accept that things may/can go wrong.
By the way, you can rebuild your site without losing the search engine traffic that you spoke of. We have done it for literally hundreds of sites. Rebuilding the site does not mean total failure. It simply means some good ol' elbow grease. ;-)
