Correction: 1 random chinese vendor (Jiangmin) out of 59 security vendors on Virustotal falsely flagged the zip with a file that's not even in it.
I have no idea why they do this, but I'm leaving this here to avoid confusion.
I researched this a bit more and I see that they falsely flag other games e.g. this game or this other game
It seems like it's either incompetence of this antivirus vendor or some malicious intent from them to throw off the anti-virus scanners.
