Is it Possible that the Firewall won't detect eicar ? ( Malware-Scanner activated..)

Hi

Just setted up my new Sophos XG Firewall at home, but when I test the malware-scanner ( downloading EICAR-File) it won't be detected. malware-scanner is active, also in rule is it "on"

Any help is kindly appreciated!

Regards

Hi

I just noticed that when I click on the following link the detection works correctly:

http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com.txt

But when I click on one of the files in the 2nd link the Sophos XG does not detect it and lets me download the files (local PC AV kicks in instead):
