I’m at the point of arbitration and now they are filing a bogus counterclaim. The arbitration is tomorrow. What can/should I do?

Yes, parties can counterclaim at an arbitration, but that does not mean it will be effective. The owner will need to show that they actually incurred a loss.
I'm sorry that I did not see your question until late in the evening. Please reach out to me on Thursday morning if there is a time for a brief discussion prior to the hearing. If the owner is represented by legal counsel, you should consider hiring a qualified construction attorney if the money you are fighting over is substantial.
