Why do we have a lot of antibiotics, but few antiviral meds? I’m not even considering HIV, because I know it’s has a different structure.

Viruses are really damn small. Much much smaller than bacteria. Certain classes of viruses called “bacteriophages” only infect bacteria.
This smaller size leads to less complexity combined with a faster reproductive rate. The fast reproductive rate leads to faster evolution/adaptation to stimuli.
