[clamav-users] ClamWin finds malware, ClamAV doesn't.

[Al Varnell]

You might be able to re-compile the ClamAV source and configure it with --maxfilesize=xxM, but the limit is there to prevent severe system damage that can result from attempting to scan over-sized files.  I know in the case of OS X there is no known malware that exceed the established limits.
