Yes, affliction by the evil eye can indeed come from a disbeliever. The proof for this is Allah’s saying: (And indeed, those who disbelieved would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message) [Al-Qalam/51].
Al-Suddi said: "They would afflict you with their eyes."
This is also indicated by the general statement of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: (The evil eye is real).
