Thanks for taking the time to think through this.

A woman or group of women find themselves in a situation and they accuse the cop/taxi driver/bartender/whoever of rape to get out of the situation. Maybe they are drunk and don't have taxi fair and accuse or threaten to accuse the driver of rape. or they just got pulled over and were found with drugs so they threaten or accuse the officer of rape. Or they are drunk and don't want to be cut off so they accuse the bartender of rape. All of these are cases that I have seen on COTWA (Pierce Harlans blog Comunity Of The Wrongly Accused which used to be named the false rape society) several times.
While I guess they could go under opportunistic, I might make a separate distinction like impaired/alibi seeking/revenge or something.
Basically these girls are using the threat of a false accusation to get their way.
This situation is malicious, opportunistic, or both,
depending on the target audience. The threat is malicious, the alibi is opportunistic; however, both may exist in the same false claim.
As directed toward the accused for leverage, it's malicious: I want to get my way, so I will intentionally harm you.
It's [also] opportunistic when aimed at a third party: I want the investigating/adjudicating party to see me as not responsible, so I'm using rape to absolve me.
In the subcategories you mention,
revenge is malicious, while
alibi seeking is opportunistic. Impaired is immaterial to the analysis, because the logical process is still the same.

An example might be the recent case of the male undergraduate getting expelled because he simply looked like the alleged rapist of a coed. Or another example might be where women kill their children and blame it on some random black guy because he fits the vague description. Maybe a category of imaginary false rape claims to cover these.
Assuming for the sake of argument these are all false (see below), the undergraduate getting expelled is malicious: You look like X, therefore I want to harm you.
Women killing their children and blaming it on a random black guy is opportunistic. The false claim is the blaming it on the black guy, and is done so the investigator/adjudicator/public sees her as a good mother not responsible for the death of her children.

This isn't a false rape claim. It's a misidentification. False rape claims occur when the rape at issue never happened; if the woman was actually raped, it's a legitimate rape claim with the wrong defendant.
