However, there Webmaster Tools does not - and never has. And we have never had a message via Webmaster Tools or Analytics that we have malware.

To quote Google:


[The Malware Team] have looked at the most recent scan and have
found that your site is not actually clean. You are using a redirect
on your landing page which is the site that is causing the problem.


And then I am advised to:


Check your site request logs to find the bad domain and resolve the issue.


What should I look for in my request logs, has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

Obviously as far as I am aware we have no malware, we had a couple of redirects in htaccess but they were not on landing/homepage and have were just normal redirects that have not caused a problem elsewhere (and are now removed). It's a WordPress site.

Some time it happens that the website get infected by malicious activities and we are not aware of it. Try using some anti-malware scan utilities and find out malicious code that may be inserted on your website.

I had a client who faced the same problem and we found some <iframe> that was inserted by someone on his WordPress website. We removed that <iframe> and filed re-inclusion request in Google Webmaster Tool. It started working fine in 2 days.
