What leads you to that conclusion? They could be existing files that
became infected.
Additionally, if you're running the same AV tools on the laptop, and
they haven't been quarantined there, that's further evidence that
there's something different (like an infection) about the ones on the
desktop.

ClamWin is an independent project that makes use of ClamAV technology
internally. Not to dismiss your questions, but you're better off posting
your question about how to get your files out of quarantine on their forums:
http://forums.clamwin.com/
Their code is responsible for the quarantine action, once the AV engine
says it is infected, so they'll know how to reverse it.
And for your false positive question, you'll probably also reach more
people there who are regularly scanning all the files on a Windows
desktop. (Many users of the official win32 port only use it to scan
email attachments.)
