That said, here is some info on the signature itself.

It was added to the ClamAV database on Oct 3 of this year. It appears to be malformed in the first subsig where the Offset and Sigmod are missing and the signature shown as offset:

$ sigtool -fEmail.Phishing.VOF2-6336843-0|sigtool --decode-sigs
VIRUS NAME: Email.Phishing.VOF2-6336843-0
TDB: Engine:81-255,Target:4
LOGICAL EXPRESSION: 1
 * SUBSIG ID 0
 +-> OFFSET: 436f6e74656e742d446973706f736974696f6e3a
 +-> SIGMOD:
 +-> DECODED SUBSIGNATURE:

 * SUBSIG ID 1
 +-> OFFSET: ANY
 +-> SIGMOD: NONE
 +-> DECODED SUBSIGNATURE:
     +-> TRIGGER: 0
     +-> REGEX: filename <redacted to prevent this e-mail from being judged as infected>
     +-> CFLAGS: (null)

ClamAV is the only scanner on VirusTotal that believes this file to be infected:
