No - the only time you have an untimed down is when the foul occurs during the last down of a quarter itself. Because there was no snap, the down has not started.
If, however, you believe this is an attempt by B to illegally run out the clock, you can start the clock on the snap rather than on the ready.

Like has been said, in NFHS this is wrong.
When the clock runs out, blow the whistle and give the time-out signal. Then call for one untimed down and run it.
In NFHS the last down cannot contain an accepted penalty.

Whoops. Reading is fundamental. I saw the case play and immediately forgot that the OP posted a DEAD ball foul.
Mark is right. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.
