I may be totally misunderstanding your question, but I’ll tell you what I know 
and perhaps somebody from ClamAV will have a better answer for you later.

In general, all False Positive should be reported using the “Report False 
Positive” page:
<http://www.clamav.net/report/report-fp.html>.

I know there was a period of time when PUA could not be submitted, but I don’t 
see any such restrictions at the moment.

As you can imagine, PUA FP’s are often in the eyes of the beholder.  For 
instance, if the signature was meant to identify a parental control application 
that can be used to track user activity, but instead it identifies a word 
processor application, then it’s clearly an FP.  If it identifies a web site 
that is able to access clipboard data from IE 7 through 11, then it’s PUA, 
whether intentional or not.

Again, in general, there is no public information available on an infection to 
be “looked up”.  The signature writer might have something in their notes about 
it, but that’s as far as it ever goes.  So I don’t know what you want to look 
up, but you have already looked in all the right places (Google and VirusTotal).

If you are interested in knowing what the signature looks like, then you can 
look it up at:
<http://clamav-du.securesites.net/cgi-bin/clamgrok>
or use 
sigtool --find [infectionname]

and if it’s decodable 
sigtool —find [infectionname] | signal —decode-sig
