I have just downloaded this file to my Linux computer and unpacked it.
There is no file called conftest.exe therein. In fact, there are no .exe
files at all.

It may well be a virus, but the question is how did it get into your
copy of the zip file?

Hm. My MD5 is the same. Even more weird. I'm afraid I'm not a Windows
user, so I can't try this on a Windows box. My suspicion is that this
conftest.exe file that you have has come from somewhere else.
