As for virtualization, Fuchsia already has its own KVM equivalent called Machina which so far can run Debian on top of Zircon and with several compatibility changes for supporting the ART runtime in Zircon already merged in, it should be also possible to run Android apps with this.

But perhaps the reason Fuchsia won't struggle unlike the other OSes you mention, is that it is possible that it will be compatible to run all the Android apps in the play store from day one, thanks to Machina; allowing a smoother transition, a process similar to what Apple did with the PowerPC to X86 switch but in Google's case, its for a completely different OS.
