[clamav-users] signature exists, but not detecting

I noted that the scan was from six months ago, so I reanalyzed the file and see that ClamAV no longer detects it as infected, although 31/62 scanners did. The signature itself was added to the ClamAV db almost two years ago, on May 27, 2019, so does seem strange that it detected six months ago, but not now. Only thing that changed in that time period was the ClamAV scan engine.
