Remember that the reason AV companies flag bitcoin wallets is because they can't (or maybe don't want to) tell the different between an actual wallet and a desktop cryptominer. If it did quarantine the wallet program just whitelist it, the AV won't pester you anymore.

For this reason, a few years ago, antiviruses often flagged new versions Bitcoin Core or it forks
But as I know the miner functionality is cut from source code Bitcoin Core since v.0.13
