It seems to me rather unrealistic to ask MS to whitelist every trusted
[by [by default] untrustworthy individuals] file existing on the
internet. 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.
