I installed the latest version of Libre Office Portable (4.4.2) today and immediately AVG identified the following file as containing a virus:
\PortableApps\LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\program\senddoc.exe
This file was dated 2014-02-27 at 16:22
AVG reported the threat as Win32/DH.F27202FC{bQ}
AVG's reference to this virus can be seen here

I cannot tell if this is a false positive but I've deleted the entire folder to be safe and rolled back to the previous version of Libre Office.

It's another AVG/TrendMicro false positive. They have them pretty frequently, with nearly every release. You can verify it with the VirusTotal report on the file here: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/f1fbf6b52c821a35b6915275ceb07f86ffd77...
Anything that's actually a virus will be identified as such by all the big guys: Symantec, Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, etc. Instead, you'll note that they all report it as clean.
Please report it to AVG so they can fix their bug. They usually fix it within a week.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
AVG has fixed their bug but TrendMicro has not. I've submitted it as a false positive to TrendMicro to speed them along.
