I know this is an old question but I could not find a solution to this problem after some research, so I am sharing what worked for me.
I have written this C# code for one of my projects. It can bypass the scan virus warning programmatically. The code can probably be converted to Java.

And here's how you can use it:
// NOTE: FileDownloader is IDisposable!
FileDownloader fileDownloader = new FileDownloader();
// This callback is triggered for DownloadFileAsync only
fileDownloader.DownloadProgressChanged += ( sender, e ) => Console.WriteLine( "Progress changed " + e.BytesReceived + " " + e.TotalBytesToReceive );
// This callback is triggered for both DownloadFile and DownloadFileAsync
fileDownloader.DownloadFileCompleted += ( sender, e ) => Console.WriteLine( "Download completed" );
fileDownloader.DownloadFileAsync( "https://INSERT_DOWNLOAD_LINK_HERE", @"C:\downloadedFile.txt" );
