It doesn't happen naturally, you have to enable saturation in the filter menus. You have different types and variations of saturation available - light, soft, medium, hard, digital (clipping), rectifying, etc.
The manual will probably explain it better than I can.
Once you have saturation enabled (have a play with the medium, or hard saturation types to start with), the Osc Vol knob (in the Mix section) turns into 'drive' mode, meaning the more you twist it to the right, the more you're overdriving the filter and its saturation. The more drive you have, and the more resonance you have, the more it will rip and scream when you play with the cutoff, especially if you have the distortion from the effects section enabled too. Watch your ears.
If you also use the Filter Envelope to modulate the filter, you can make the usual distorted TB303-esque type stuff.
Some filter saturation types work better with some sounds than others. In other cases it can be counter productive and flattens the sound. It's a case of going through them and becoming accustomed to what sort of sounds they each work best on. Not only that, but with each filter type and configuration too.
The Virus filters have great flexibility.
