I want to know the reason.
False Positive. It's not
False Positive. It's not really a virus. If BitDefender hasn't deleted the file, upload the file to http://www.virustotal.com/ and let that site scan the file. This site scans the file using several (36) different virus databases. If only a few of the many say it's an issue, it's safe to ignore. If most of them say it's an issue, report it again.

I scanned clamscan.exe(in ClamWin_Portable_0.94.paf.exe),it's reported:

Then I scanned clamscan.exe(in clamwin-0.94-setup.exe),it's reported:

Definitely a false positive
Definitely a false positive then. If only 2 out of 36 detected an issue, it's safe to ignore. This isn't an exact rule, but in my mind, if 5 or more agree that it is an issue, i'll be concerned.
Part of the reason that scanning the same file, one coming from our installer, and one coming from the regular clamwin installer, gave different results is that PortableApps.com uses UPX to compress their applications before distribution. Some AV scanners detect only a few UPXed files as being infected for some reason.
