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.
