I have built mxe-octave for 32 bit version.
No virus alert on zip2exe.exe investigated virus total, 
which is the same for the zip2exe.exe on the octave-official site.

Perhaps 64 bit built related this, 
however I do not now how virus positive (I think false positive) for 64 bit 
built.

I filed this issue to the bug tracker
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48530


Further discussion will be done there.
