I can confirm that runtests.py doesn't install f2py into the virtualenv bin
directory. This issue is hard to run into though, because if you've ever
installed numpy on your system before (outside a virtualenv), then you
probably already have f2py on your PATH (it's at .local/bin/f2py).

f2py isn't supposed to be installed standalone, I'm not surprised that that
doesn't work.
