I just got a hit for this virus, in a bin file that scanned clean just the day before. Seems like it might be a false positive to me. Anyone else get this one yet?

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoHotkey\Compiler\AutoHotkeySC.bin: Trojan.Dropper-5623 FOUND

I ran the Virustotal scan, and only got two hits

Makes me think even more that it is a false positive.

If you have ClamWin's advanced preferences set to detect potentially unwanted applications (or PUAs, ClamWin may have detected the trojan with its PUA signatures. PUAs are tools that could be used by malware writers. If you installed the software in which the PUA was found (a keylogger for instance or a certain packer), it is probably okay.

If four or more other AVs had also found something, it might be a real trojan. When you get a false positive, tell ClamAV about it at https://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi on the Web. They don't usually change the PUA signatures, however, because they are just a warning. You can exclude files from ClamWin's normal scans (not individual file scans) in filter preferences.
