Yes, but not all are using this plugin.
AND - no code is perfect - take care and double check!

Was your company ever attacked by ransomeware - possibly a zero day one? 
Did you ever restored some terrabyte of server data or several hundreds of 
PC's.
Even 'a high likelihood of false positives' is nothing compared to this.
The only way to prevent users from clicking on zero day viruses, is to 
block them before they reach the user!
Always have a backup, that can be restored in a minimum of time!

Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

double-extension !!!

name.jpg.exe
name.jpg.js
name.jpg.wsh
name.jpg.ps1

I can't find anything positive, if someone is sending me such a 
double-extension file in a zip or rar.

 any_string.(docx?|xlsx?|ppdx?|wpd|txt|jpg|jpeg|htm|html|pdf|pif|scr).exe
or
 any_string.(docx?|xlsx?|ppdx?|wpd|txt|jpg|jpeg|htm|html|pdf|pif|scr).js

And if I can't find any positive on it - there can't be anything false 
positive.

I concur with this great tip.

I've been using foxhole js and file for a while now with great success.
I'm afraid of foxhole_all.cdb, as they say there's a high likelihood of
false positives.  Has that not been your experience?

I don't quite understand the point of your own signatures.  Doesn't
ASSP_AFC take care of this?  Are these signatures better or preferred?  I
guess I'm uncertain how they work, why you have them (or need / want them)
and what the difference between zmd and md files are besides one seeming 
to
work on zip when the other is for rar.  And what are they looking for?  A
zip with a jpg in it is flagged as bad by this?
