So how do we fix this so it stops coming up as a virus in other software for windows and linux ?

If you mean there is a "false positive" detection by ClamWin for this virus, then you must visit the Clam AV submission page at https://www.clamav.net/lang/en/sendvirus/ on the web and upload the file that is "infected." When you get to the upload form, be sure to indicate that it is a false positive, and put the exact name of the falsely-detected virus in the comments section. Clam AV furnishes the scan engine and signature database used by ClamWin, and they will adjust their signature within a couple of days.

A false positive detection occurs when an antivirus falsely detects a file as "infected" when it is really not infected. ClamWin is coming up as a false positive in Windows and Linux how? What are you scanning ClamWin with?

If you have a false positive detection of a program/file with any antivirus, you should tell the antivirus company/provider about it so they can change their signature.
