Just in general ....
Antiviruses are very notorious for false positives, for both DOS and
Windows software, even extremely innocuous stuff. Heuristics are usually to
blame. Also, half the time I have to disable real-time protection because
of such false positives. This is almost worse than having an actual virus.
It's very inconvenient and not nearly as rare as I'd like.
Not that I encourage anyone to download this (for various reasons), but ....
It would've been better if you had uploaded the suspected file to
http://www.virustotal.com to compare against many antivirus vendors just to
be sure it wasn't a false positive (although some of them use the same bad
heuristics). In particular, while not 100% proof, if the file is a PE .EXE,
then it's "probably" not for DOS.
