Have you read Loch Ness's And Then Some? In it, Methos gets the plague, and he's had it before. And he dies from it. A couple of times, actually, before his body finally beats it.
It is canon that Immortals cannot regenerate limbs. I haven't seen any episodes yet about serious illness, so I guess that's up to us to interpret. I'd agree that Immortals do get sick, but that their bodies heal much more quickly than mortals' bodies do. Fanfic writers get to think about and decide just how quickly that would be, for various diseases.
