Ok, the point is closed.

As recommended by the official Apache JMeter web site, I used an official 
mirror site.

I tried these 2 official French mirror sites: 
  http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/apache/
  http://apache.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.apache.org/dist/
and systematically got a reject by McAfee Web Gate, respectively with the 
messages
  "BehavesLike.Java.Exploit.xm"
  "BehavesLike.Java.Suspicious-JAR.zv"


Only after the mirror sites I tried Apache's official sites
  http://www-eu.apache.org/dist/
  http://www-us.apache.org/dist/
and these are fine.

I conclude that either something is wrong on the mirror sites or McAfee WG is 
overzealous...

What URL did you get the zip files from? 

Did you check the signature as recommended here: 

http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html 

Or did you at least check the hash? 

The KEYS, sig and hashes must be downloaded from 

https://www.apache.org/dist/jmeter/KEYS 
and 
https://www.apache.org/dist/jmeter/binaries
