That's been dealt with. See http://bugs.python.org/issue17843

I don't think that's the same issue. The link you gave is about *BZ2* test data triggering antivirus warnings, not XML. Is there another issue for a similar problem with an XML test file? (Searching bugs.python.org for "xml antivirus" doesn't turn up any results...)
