Run clamconf and check MaxScanSize. Probably 100M.
Also, from man clamscan:
--max-scansize=#n
Extract and scan at most #n kilobytes from each scanned file.
You may pass the value in megabytes in format xM or xm, where x
is a number. This option protects your system against DoS
attacks (default: 100 MB, max: <4 GB)
However, if the file is an archive, then the MaxFileSize is probably 25M.
