ListPlot is setting AxesOrigin to {0,0.2}:

test = Table[{x, (1/
        2) + (Cos[2*2*Pi*x]/
         2)*(E^-(x^2) + (1/2)*0.1*E^-((x - 12)^2) + (1/2)*0.05*
          E^-((x - 27)^2) + (10^-3)*E^-((x - 280)^2))}, {x, -10, 40,
     0.05}];
plot = ListPlot[test, PlotRange -> All, Joined -> True, Frame -> True,
     FrameLabel -> {"Pathlength Mismatch (2\[CenterDot]m mm)",
      " Signal Strength "},
    BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Garamond", FontSlant -> "Italic",
      FontSize -> 14}];
AbsoluteOptions[plot, AxesOrigin]

{AxesOrigin -> {0., 0.2}}

Axes->False fixes the problem:

plot = ListPlot[test, PlotRange -> All, Joined -> True, Frame -> True,
    Axes -> False,
   FrameLabel -> {"Pathlength Mismatch (2\[CenterDot]m mm)",
     " Signal Strength "},
   BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Garamond", FontSlant -> "Italic",
     FontSize -> 14}]

If you use Frame, you probably don't want Axes too.
