I have a PDF (size: 2 GB, PUID fmt/478, PDF/A) which can not be scanned

Even for a PDF file, 2Gbytes is pretty big.  What is it?

... I don't know why. Maybe you could help me somehow? All the other PDFs
do not throw an error.

You say the file is 2 GB.
There is a file size limit of 2GB - 2^31 bytes.
*Maybe* you are hitting that.

The OP claims that, except for logging, he's using default settings.
The default settings (at least as distributed on clamav.net) do not
permit scanning files larger than 25 Mbytes.  Please see the various
'Max...'  options in the configuration file.  They are well-covered in
the documentation, which warns about setting limit values too high as
it can cause problems.  The warnings are a little draconian in my view
but they are still warnings.

In any case make sure that the process which is trying to scan the
file has the permissions which it needs to access it.
