There are a lot of websites that allow users to login with a Google account.
Is there any way my Google account information could be compromised from someone hacking the website I logged into with my Google account?

I would say, yes, Google's OpenID might be risky depending on what a hacker wants to gain, thus what type of code is used. The website code for that uses a redirect to a page of a website, so it can retrieve your personal data from Google. Should that page become compromised and the redirect go to a malicious page, you may not know. Once there, even if it cannot access your information from Google, an unsuspecting user might be asked to re-login and could be directed to a phishing site.
I think zb420 may be thinking of IP blocking, as opposed to anti-virus alerts which would notify you if your AV sees malicious code on a webpage that you visit. For IP blocking, the issue has to be reported in order for anti-malware applications to add the information to their database. If it is a legitimate site, and the problem is handled within a few hours, as most are, your anti-virus/anti-malware would not help you with IP blocking, unless the redirect is to a known bad site. If the site is not fixed, it would eventually be reported and added to IP blocking by whatever security you are using for that.
