PS: Yeah, somewhat a canned message. Currently in the middle of a bunch
of things while doing release, so my apologies.

I downloaded the X64 version for my Windows 10 system, but it doesn't run
when I double-click or use Open or even when I run it as Administrator. My
Avast antivirus and an on-demand scan with MalwareBytes show the file is
safe. I switched to Edge to download it again in case my original download
was corrupted, but Microsoft blocked the download, saying the file may harm
my computer.
By doesn't run you mean the installer doesn't open?
I had no problem installing and running it on Fedora 33 Linux.
Will check on Windows sometime.
When I double-click the exe file I see the busy icon for a few seconds, then
nothing else happens. No installer window opens, and no new task appears in
Task Manager. There is no UAC issue, as SeaMonkey is not installed on my boot
drive.
You could read the releasee notes and check if this helps:

Windows:
You might not be able to install SeaMonkey in Windows 10 if you have
turned on the Windows Defender Smartscreen feature. Your SeaMonkey download
will be blocked in the case. To overcome this go to "Windows Security->App &
browser control" in the new Windows Settings and set the "Check apps and
files" setting to Warn from Block.

I got the file directly from the builder a week ago and it installed fine in
20H2, 1909 and Server 2016. But the first thing I do after installing Windows
10 is turn off smartscreen and this "block on first sight" stuff. I value my
privacy too much for allowing to report anything I download to MS :) Real-time
protection is the only thing on.
sha256 for *seamonkey-2.53.6.en-US.win64.installer.exe directly from the
builder is 177924a851751c0351fd1a62f86d03caf9a2d08a9e596ff01037a878b56774ec
