I don't see how that is even remotely possibly. They are three completely different hash signatures:

[daily.hsb] 9027093eab2a193081a763001e947371:4292:Html.Malware.Agent-6625344-0:73
[daily.hsb] 5591165097d53565d4e5f4e9fda8241a:7367:Html.Malware.Agent-6625164-0:73
[daily.hsb] f4116176a108054001a0e29e2ea105e6:6996:Html.Malware.Agent-6625283-0:73

You should have already submitted this file to ClamAV as a false positive, so what was it's MD5 hash?
