Can not submit a false positive URL of Web Shield, Web Scanning

I can not submit a false positive URL of avast! Web Shield, Web Scanning.

(I usually use Japanese language. The avast! screenshots below shows English messages, because I changed avast!'s language setting to English from Japanese to understand the problem easily for persons who can not read Japanese.)

I was going to download “YU-RIS” Japanese Visual Novel Game Engine (Development Kit) Beta4.7 ver 0.476/0.10 Installer from http://yu-ris.net/download/index.html . (YU-RIS website is http://yu-ris.net/ )

avast! Web Shield alerted “Win32:Evo-gen [susp]” malware then.
But I thought it was a false positive alert. I tried to submit a false positive report.

The “File” field of Submit URL dialog:

http://www.yu-ris.net/download/yu-ris_0476_010.exe|>yu-ris_0476_010\システム\system\YSConv\YSConv.exe

When I clicked submit button, a error dialog was displayed. I can not submit a false positive URL report.

The error dialog (The message is Japanese because I use Japanese Windows.):

avast! Information ファイル名、ディレクトリ名、またはボリューム ラベルの構文が間違っています。
(English: The syntax of the file name, the directory name or the volume label is incorrect.)

Additional information:

  • I set “Ask” at “Actions” (Virus/PUP/Suspicious) of “Web Shield Settings”.
  • The file is included in a SFX archive file.

As I posted on Beta board ( http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=141845.msg1036612#msg1036612 ), this problem continues in 2014.9.0.2011.
“Report the file as a false positive” of WebShield does not work in case that the file is included in an installer, a SFX file or an archive file.

I tested it at EICAR site http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar_com.zip .
