Hi Mark,
Did you have any luck identifying the source of the bug? I admit I bookmarked
your email and failed to find time to look into it myself after that.

Hi,
I think there's a bug with ClamAV not honouring the contents of a .fp file
within the database directory.
I've tested 0.101.2 as well as previous versions of ClamAV going back to
0.99.4 and the issue seems to have appeared as of 0.100.0 onwards.
To re-create the issue:
Find a zip file which you know reports an infection when scanned.
Use sigtool --md5 to generate an FP sig of the zip file and save it in a
<filename>.fp file in the databse directory.
Use clamscan to scan the file and see that it still reports the file as
being infected.
The output from clamscan --debug shows the .fp file is being loaded, but it
just doesn't seem to be being honoured for some reason.
I see the same thing when I build ClamAV on macOS as well as when using the
apt-get distribution on Ubuntu 18.04
Lastly, it only appears to be an issue with archive filetypes eg .zip, .dmg
etc. Simple files are excluded as expected - similarly, if you generate an
FP sig of a simple file and put that file within an archive, it correctly
gets excluded.
I'll clone the source from Git on Monday and have a dig through it myself
to see if I can fix the bug, but thought I'd mention it here in case
someone's already on it, or at least knows where I can start looking!
Cheers
Mark
