We are releasing a demo with our Kickstarter launch on 3/24 and some anti-viruses flag/auto-delete our .exe when users unzip our build. What do we need to do to get the build to pass anti-virus scans? We’ve confirmed that nothing malicious is binding into our exe?

Antivirus companies cause a big headache to small developers. Sometimes they do more harm than good. People even complain about games released to steam.
But you can try to test out what causes the anti virus softwares to catch your files. Anything that allows code execution remotely or downloading files from the internet ma cause this. Or its just you users are very dumb.
Or else you try to report the false positives to all vendors.
