Hello,
> I am interested in a 64-bit version of ICONV.
libiconv is distributed as a source package at
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv/
We don't provide precompiled binaries - who can trust precompiled binaries
anyway in these days where every mail is virus-checked and even Microsoft
products have backdoors for use by NSA agents?

You can compile it yourself. The instructions in README.woe32 are for
mingw, but I've heard there's also a mingw64 package somewhere.

Linux does not need libiconv, it has iconv() already implemented in the
libc. For the other Unix systems: as said above, you have the source, you
should have a compiler.
