My scan report mentioned the following file: clamav-14760fe7ec26ccfe0706cdd8653e09be.00000c4c.clamtmp: [W32.Virut.Gen.D-163] FALSE POSITIVE FOUND. I can't find it in my directory to send it with the online form.

If you look at your ClamWin scan report, it will tell you where the false positive file is located on your computer. You can access the scan reports by right-clicking on the Clamwin icon in your system tray. Then select Display Reports, and then choose Virus Scan Report. Find the report that mentions the false positive, and it should tell you the location of the file. If there is are more than one false positive reports for the same virus, submit to Clam AV all the files involved--one at a time. Clam says to make no more than 2 submissions per day, so I guess you could send a couple each day if you have more than two detections.

I have the same issue but with "virut...148" and message "FOUND" only.
Since the file
C:\DOCUME~1\klaus\LOCALS~1\Temp\clamav-206059cfd6b8d753c7fccd19e5d6bbda.00000b94.clamtmp: W32.Virut.Gen.D-148 FOUND
is located in folder "documents...local settings\temp" it does no longer exist after scan, so, i can't upload.
What to do?

That was a temp file created by ClamWin during scanning, which contained a Virut signature (not the real virus). ClamWin usually deletes the temp files, but they can sometimes remain until some time later. I would not worry about it.
