It is an exercise in patience ... you will hear perfect silence ... contribution is it's own reward ... well that and eventually no longer being bugged by the false positive.

Generally you won't hear unless they require more information. Leave the file path in the exclusions and periodically scan a copy in the chest to see if it isn't detected and then remove the exclusion.

However I would have thought it would have been dealt with by now they are usually quick to resolve an FP. You could try sending it again, this time from the chest and see if that helps.

Ive heard nothing from them since I asked them to take the file off...absolutely nothing.
But is the file still being detected as infected? Is it really a false positive?
If they did not correct this *yet*, it will be a shame, answering or not answering to the user.
