I'm being told that TippingPoint (TrendMicro) has identified this site as a source of malware. That's caused it to be blocked by corporate firewalls. Obviously, this is a major source of pain for developers just trying to install plugins.
Has anyone run into this before? If so, any hints on how to deal with it?
Saying "I don't care if there's malware somewhere in there, I still need access" is not going to get the access granted

For Mordac, the Preventer of Information Services, there is always a
danger of malware. And he's right, of course.
When you say "this site", is it a reference to eclipse.org, all of
eclipse.org or just the download pages for eclipse.org?
