A virus, or worm, doesn't start running by magic. So if you see
a file that is not an executable which is infected you can either
ignore it as being a false positive, or a harmless issue.
For example I've frequently seen .iso files marked as being
infected with something. But given that I'd never try to actually
execute an iso file its not something to worry about.

It depends where it has been found.

(This file is the equivalent of a Linux swapfile. It is expected
to have "random" content in it, but isn't something that you need
worry about.)
