I think this is not about AV products being rubbish.
The LibreOffice source contains over 100 test documents named CVE-*, for
example:
sw/qa/core/data/ww8/pass/CVE-2012-4886-1.doc
sw/qa/core/data/odt/pass/CVE-2012-4233-1.odt
These appear to be documents which target known security vulnerabilities
in LibreOffice or other software.
I have experienced build failures on Windows caused by "real time
protection" antivirus software blocking access to such files. It would
seem to be quite reasonable for antivirus software to do that.
