Hello,
To be sure the file is really a false positive pls upload it to https://www.virustotal.com/. If few (or no other) AV's find it infected it is likely to be a false positive.
Kindly notifify Clam team using the form @ https://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi and tick the relevant field about false positive.
Usually issue is fixed shortly by the team and furthermore you will help to improve Clam/ClamWin detection ability.
Regards,
P.S.-In similar occurrances it could be useful to download and install the virustotal uploader (https://www.virustotal.com/it/metodos.html) which enables you to send the suspect file simply by right clicking on it and using the 'Send to' option (attention: max. file size acceptable is 20 MB).
PP.SS.-See you are still using 0.93.1 version. Suggest to upgrade it to 0.94 for better performance.
