Better antivirus (AV) protection?

[infoomatic]

the file you provided is actually not a 7z file, I could open it with unrar.

So this might be a nice trick to circumvent a not so intelligent scanner
where scanning is done via file extension - the scanner mit try to use
7z to extract files and fails.

However, in the case of clamav, the content (exe file) is not recognized
as malware.

I uploaded the sample, and voila:
