As far as I can tell, those links are not negatively affecting your site's performance in our search results, so I wouldn't worry too much about them. If you feel that you're seeing changes in the way that your site is ranking in our search results, then I'd recommend focusing on your own site, on your own content, and working to make it the best it can possibly be.

I have never seen lack of nofollow tag on affiliate links cited as a confirmed reason for a ranking drop on Google's webmaster forums and it has never been a confirmed reason for a site deindexing.
Update. Google's Matt Cutts finally states the obvious in a clear statement.
