I have submitted the file to Microsoft as a false positive. In the meanwhile, you can try installing 7Zip or NanaZip on your machine, which should make EnvyUpdate use that instead of downloading it.

Unfortunately, I can not do much more than that, except figuring out a good way of bundling it or requiring it to be installed outright, which I would like to prevent.

It downloads the unmodified 7zip binary from 7-zip.org (https://7-zip.org/a/7zr.exe) - it would probably be better to bundle it somehow, but that would then in turn make EnvyUpdate get flagged again...

It appears to no longer be an issue. :)
