alexsz - seems like you have something 'interfering' with your clipboard, hopefully its not malign. If this was a bug in calibre, this forum would have a flood of 'complaints'.
Browse the Miscellaneous section of
Frequently Asked Questions in the manual. It mentions a few 3rd party products that have been known to cause problems when they run alongside calibre. If you're running anything mentioned there, try closing it.
If no luck with the FAQ, try disabling everything possible in startup, along with any 3rd party shell extensions, and/or see what happens in Safe Mode with no network. If that solves the problem, then you'll have to determine the 'culprit' by a process of elimination.
FWIW: I run 4 clipboard related programs at startup - ClickTo, ClipboardFusion, Textify, and Shelltoys - none of which prevent me Copying Text from calibre.
Just to be sure, you might want to use your installed AV software AND one or two others such as Malwarebytes and Trend Micro's HouseCall to check for malware.
