I'll try, but I'm afraid I've never used ClamAV with Docker.

Do you have a configuration file somewhere called clamd.conf or
something similar?  If so I'd expect that you just need to edit the
relevant options in that and restart clamd.  For more help see the
'man' page:

man clamd.conf

or the online documentation:

https://docs.clamav.net/

Incidentally as of 0.105.0 the default for MaxScanSize is 400M:
