Can you edit the access logs? or is that disabled (i hope so)?
Can you close ports or have an admin?
Is someone able to open a unix shell to edit the server settings or is that somehow blocked?
Can I virus scan the site (the old CPANEL had that option)?

The access log is just a text file located in your home dir (or a sub dir), you can do whatever you want with it.
Which port to be closed? What's the reason?
I don't think shell access is available.
Virus scan is available right from the cPanel, just use it. (Note: it only scan files in your account, not the databases)

No

Can you close ports or have an admin?
No, Admins can do it.

Is someone able to open a unix shell to edit the server settings or is that somehow blocked?
Not Possible. The File permissions won't allow general users to edit them.

Can I virus scan the site (the old CPANEL had that option)?
Yes.
