This is not a bug, "W32.AIDetectMalware" is a false positive that seems to affect most NSIS-based installers I tested. it could be due to one of the plugins used or due to the nature of extracting compressed files & running interpreted code, so unfortunately there is nothing I could do about it other than report the false positive to the AV vendor.
