Chrome is complaining about the location of the download, and not about the file itself.
As I noted in another forum, I was able to use Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Opera to download the file with no complaints whatsoever. In each case, the downloaded file was scanned with Avast and no problems were found. I also used Chrome to download the file, and told Chrome to keep the "infected" file anyway. It was scanned with Avast, and no problems were found.
When I uploaded the file just downloaded with Chrome to my own server, using FileZilla, and then used Chrome to download that same file from my server, Chrome did not complain. Chrome also didn't complain when the same test was done with files downloaded by the other browsers.
Conclusion: Chrome doesn't like the Piwik download site.
@Matt:
You can do a simple test. Just make a copy of the "infected" file somewhere else, and then try to use Chrome to download the file from that alternate location. I suspect that Chrome (or Google) has a black list of dodgy sites. It's probably Google.
