indeed, currently the accelerometer is not fully simulated in the virtual Thymio, the simulator being actually a 2-D environment. The variables acc[0-2] will always be zero, but the tap event can be triggered if the simulated Thymio bumps into an obstacle or if you click on it.
You can find the detail of waht is simulated and what isn't on this page.

can it be that the accelerometers are not working when using a virtual Thymio?
