I attempted to submit the sample I have to http://www.clamav.net/reports/fp and 
it was similarly rejected as "empty."  Scanned the file on my computer after 
updating definitions still shows it as infected.  Uploading it to VirusTotal 
results in only a ClamAV detection:
<https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/87084602bb62d9213e10a1741150093a37481cd005b62008e7187f2086b8922a/analysis/1455495993/>.

Regardless of whether the signature is right or wrong, the ClamAV False 
Positive submission system is broken and needs to be fixed.
The file I submitted was pg3726-images.epub downloaded from
<http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/3726/pg3726-images.epub> 
with MD5=6a2c8a5085e7fbea72643d78962c6897 just in case it actually made it to 
the database.
