Yes, I've had to increase the default scan limit.

It's supposed to contain media files.

Is there any way to force ClamAV to scan the file, please?

We have a business requirement to be able to say, yes, we scan all our
files for viruses.

I understand that technically it can't contain a virus, and can
contain an exploit for that format.

But I still need to be able to say, we've scanned it for viruses.
It's a requirement from management.
