Then you'll need to change:

--max-filesize=#n
              Extract and scan at most #n kilobytes from each archive. 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: 25 MB, max: <4 GB)
