COMPILATION=0 doesn't set the album as a compilation, and as Mr Sinatra said, 
it's likely that the album had COMPILATION=1 and you've done a partial rescan 
(the compilation status seems to stick).

You shouldn't be setting COMPILATION=0 in this situation though.  I can't 
remember exactly what happens, but it wouldn't be good.  Probably, the album 
would be split up into several albums, one per artist.  SC makes the album a 
compilation to group the songs onto one album for you.

You need an album artist to hold the songs together under a certain name, which 
is what SC is doing for you as "Various Artists" if you don't specify one.

If you have an ALBUMARTIST, you don't need COMPILATION=0, but it wouldn't do 
any harm.
