That's asking a lot from your antivirus. It is not just Calibre that they must look at, but five bazillion other Windows programs as well. Analyzing and "learning" this massive number of programs would be a gargantuan task.
Yes, the world would be a better place without any anti-virus false-positives. But that will never happen.
If dealing with false positives is too much, then it might be time to consider switching to Linux, or a Mac, or some other operating system that is more secure than Windows and doesn't require all the add-on anti-virus anti-malware anti-spyware kludge that's the norm in the Windows world. Any OS can be compromised, but you are much more likely to be compromised when running Windows. Hence all the add-on anti-whatever software required for normal daily operation. And the associated false-positives.
