Lately my browser has been downloading random HTM files while browsing the wikis. These files are 0 kilobytes and have randomly generated names. The most recent one that my browser downloaded was titled "BEfawH53."

I've got more or less the same problem lately.
I'm currently using Firefox 103.0. Unlike in your case, however, it only asks me where to save the files and not download them immediately.
That's because I configured Firefox so that it doesn't save the file to the default folder as soon as it finishes downloading that file, but instead asks me where to save that file.

I suspect this boils down to a bug in Miraheze's servers or something.
Never had this experience.

At times, my browser, Microsoft Edge, a browser I have used the most on my laptop sometimes does that (If my hands were still wet, it does this occasionally).
I sure hope Miraheze isn’t distributing viruses here.
I don't think they are viruses, at least the fact that the files are blank.
