It seems to me rather unrealistic to ask MS to whitelist every trusted [by [by default] untrustworthy individuals] file existing on the internet.
If you don't tell upstream (i.e. MS) about their bugs (i.e. false positives), they will have a harder time fixing them.
My guess is that the archive is [judged by defender] to be too large to be opened and scanned [it does seem to do that with smaller archives, as they, iff nothing nasty is inside, do pass] and therefor takes the safe route to judge it to be not-trusted.
I very much doubt any antivirus vendor simply flags every medium-sized file as a virus. That is simply broken logic. Cheers, Miguel
