Increase the limits, such as MaxScanSize, and MaxFileSize, and ClamAV will scan the file with type 0 (generic) signatures. If this is some sort of a compressed/encoded format, it won't unpack it, and scan individual files because it doesn't know how. However if there is an exploit using MXF format in the wild (and we have a sample for it), it can be caught via type 0 signatures. But please do understand that increasing the scan limits can result in huge scan times, increased memory usage and so on.
