People still use antivirus in 2022?? I think it's well-understood that antivirus has somehow managed to be worse than not having it, as antivirus programs themselves often have vulnerabilities that make full system compromise easier.

Note that your antivirus is also performing worse than even the average antivirus, which is already pretty bad. The EICAR test file is only meant to be detected if the file size is less than or equal to 128 bytes long.
