Rabbits can suffer from snuffles, caused by the pasturella bacteria, which can also be the bacteria that causes human colds. And human-to-animal or vice versa diseases are possible in other cases, too.

Not all, rabbits cannot get the common cold or the flu, etc. However, they are affected by certain viruses especially scabies or ringworm (skin related). Still, it's smarter to play safe. Don't touch your rabbit when you're sick. Ask your vet whenever you're in doubt!

no, rabbits nor humans can get a sickness from one other. Sickness can not be passed from animals to human or from human to animal. Animals and humans have different imune systems which block sickness from animals.

Certainly, rabbits can acquire some -- not all -- human illnesses. In fact, rabbits were used to as test subjects when the polio vaccine was developed. And humans can certainly get sick from rabbits -- the animals can carry various kinds of viruses that can cross over to their human handlers, especially through open cuts or sores.
