    This does the job:

    for(i=0; i<app.activeDocument.pathItems.length; i++) {
	app.activeDocument.pathItems[i].deselect();	
}

      Here is a function to deselect all paths:

       

      deselectPaths();

function deselectPaths() {
	function s2t(s) {
		return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
	}
	var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
	var reference = new ActionReference();
	reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "path" ), s2t( "ordinal" ), s2t( "targetEnum" ));
	descriptor.putReference( s2t( "null" ), reference );
	executeAction( s2t( "deselect" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );
}
