If you have a table view with a data source, the second of Matthew's
lines, "set selected row ... to 0", indeed does not work (it only works
for a table view without a data source).
With a data source you want to say "data rows" or "data row" not "rows"
or "row", so the line would be:
set selected data rows of table view "myTable" of scroll view
"myTable" of window "myWindow" to {}
Slightly curiously Matthew's first line, "set selected rows ... to {}",
does work for a table view with a data source as well as for a table
view without a data source. Nevertheless I use "data rows" if with a
data source - just so I don't confuse myself!
That said, I personally haven't had any problems using the call method
line either, although if I use it I use a slightly different syntax:
call method "deselectAll:" of object (table view "myTable" of scroll
view "myTable" of window "myWindow")
I am not qualified to say whether the pure applescript line is
preferable to the call method line or vice versa.

Matthew,
I've tried using the code you have suggested below but to no avail. I
ended up using the "deselectAll:" method. The code you suggest SHOULD
work. I'm not sure why I haven't been able to make it work for me. No
errors generated, no results either (i.e.: the selection remains).
set selected rows of table view "myTable" of scroll view "myTable" of
window "myWindow" to {}
or
set selected row of table view "myTable" of scroll view "myTable" of
window "myWindow" to 0
