Just to be sure, you might configure ClamWin to quarantine and run another scan to put it there. Then I suggest you upload the file to VirusTotal at https://www.virustotal.com/en/virustotalf.html. They will check it for you free against multiple antivirus programs. If ClamWin is the only one that finds it, it is probably a false positive, you can restore it and tell the ClamAV people about the false positive at https://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi.

I've run AD-AWARE SE PERSONAL and AVG FREE on it. I also went to five major FREE ANTIVIRUS SCANNER sites and none of them marked it as infected.

Then it probably is a false positive, but make sure that the virus is in the databases of the antivirus software you have used. Kaspersky usually does a good job, but I'm not sure about AVG. You can find various names for a virus used by different antivirus programs at:
