Martin's positive test comes a day after Geoffrey Bouchard and Vegard Stake Laengen became the first riders to pull out of the race with Covid-19.
"I felt my throat was sore and I asked to be tested and I turned out to be positive," said Martin, who was 13th in the overall standings after Saturday's eighth stage.
Sunday's ninth stage is a 192.9-km mountainous trek from Aigle, Switzerland, to Chatel back in France.
