HTML:Script-inf in website icon?

[Polda18]

Hello. It happened before on another website, now at this, as following detection pop-up shows:

Object: hxxp://www.zendl.cz/favicon.ico

Infection: HTML:Script-inf

Is it possible to infect website icon with a virus? VirusTotal analyses the website with 2 detections out of 64 as shown here: https://virustotal.com/cs/url/5c99b1fe2a847e03529823be42ccd3736300052907f1545e5ecc27fa7f70b429/analysis/1490696307/

It's a Czech military and hunting goods shopping website. Could anyone please inspect it for false positives? I can't believe website icon can be infected by malware. Thank you.

Well we have that all explained then. Confirmed here: https://urlscan.io/result/163c9bcc-7b91-491a-8634-bafcbd5cc3e5#summary

Furthermore from the response header we see exploitability like this:

OpenSSH 5.1p1 Debian 5 (protocol 2.0) is also open to vulnnlImage hacking it seems (shellcode) and "mod_fastcgi/","2.4.6" seems outdated. So it certainly is in need of some 'hardening' there, to get it somewhat more secure against hackers.

Guys, no need to dig deeper here. The site is infected, that's it.

They could get somewhat more secure while they will find the Avast Prague headquarters round the corner ,
two hops on the metro.... 
Not digging deeper, just a good and sound advice.

You know us, we like digging all the way down

I don't understand that. Why it detects a malware in website icon? It appears it's not present. Does 404 page (loaded automatically when some link seems unreachable) contain malware? Looks like hacked websites. Should I contact webmaster to make him clean his sites and make them better safe?
