First some background info.

The definition was added recently by daily - 23071, Feb 15, 2017, so that 
explains why you are just now seeing it.

It's looking for the following ASCII string in an ASCII Text document:

begin_signature 
block{WILDCARD_ANY_STRING(LENGTH<=100)}miia4ayjkozihvcnaqccoiia0tccgs0c

except I substituted an underline "_" for the first space " " character to 
prevent this e-mail from being detected as infected.

That appears to be a rather unique string of characters, though I don't know 
anything about what type of malware this might be looking for.

I downloaded EFTools6.1.3ForVS2013.msi from 
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40762> and confirmed 
the detection.

I decompressed the .msi archive and scanned the resulting files, but none of 
those files were found to be an infection.

I also opened the .msi archive in a text editor and the only portion of the 
signature I could locate was the word "begin" twice and the word "signature" 
several times, but not consecutively. So I have no idea how this file is found 
to be infected.

So if I were you I would upload EFTools6.1.3ForVS2014.msi or whatever one you 
have to ClamAV's False Positive Report page <http://www.clamav.net/reports/fp>.
