    Anything I should be aware of, selling a standalone download on my website?

    I have no plans to do anything to prevent piracy or sharing, unless there's something that wouldn't inconvenience customers.

    I did read unzipping the unity exe file will alert antivirus software.

    Anything else? Thanks for any help!

    Maybe you want to make an installer using something like "Inno Setup" - http://www.jrsoftware.org/ - downloading an unzipping a zip seems rather inconvenient for the users.

    This is not a usual case. This pops from time to time and we contact antivirus manufacturers to fix it. Unity certainly does not ship malware in its products.
