It depends on the AV software and how it is configured. Many packages allow for whitelisting files or directories so that they do not get scanned, useful if you have a legitimate tool which is flagged as malicious. There's no reason why malware could not try to subvert this behaviour to hide themseleves if that's your line of thinking.
