I'll have a look later if/when I dl it.
Aha, I found it. Apparently, it detects the "bottles.exe" file from that ZIP-archive (an AEC program that prints the humorous poem "99 bottles of beer") as "Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml". But, as far as I understand it (as a sophomore computer science student), it cannot possibly contain that Trojan, because Trojans don't infect other executable files. That's what viruses do.

That's not really my homework in the usual sense of the word. That's something I have written a scientific paper about which, if everything goes right, will get published in Osjecki Matematicki List.
I’m happy to take your word for it.
