The clamav false positive submission system will not accept my entry and
says that it is not detected by ClamAV. This is not a virus, not
malware, this is a PHP test file for the PHP source. The released
version for my dist is 0.98.1 but the submission system said to use the
latest version, so I compiled 0.98.3 and came up with the same results
on the latest database. Now I'm posting here to hopefully get it into
the false positive list upon confirmation. If this is not the right
place to post it, please point me in the right direction. After a lot of
searches I have been unable to find any other real reference to this issue.

This is the test file in the PHP git repository.
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/tidy/tests/bug54682.phpt

Adding the -z flag to clamscan will make it visible. With no options
clamscan sees the file as OK.

$ clamscan -z /opt/wr-php/php-src/ext/tidy/tests/bug54682.phpt
/opt/wr-php/php-src/ext/tidy/tests/bug54682.phpt:
PHP.Exploit.CVE_2011_4153-3 FOUND

almost instantly with no resolution:
