And what rules caused it to be a false-positive?  Size doesn't matter here. 
Fix the rules, add whitelisting etc.

Why wouldn't they?  Bandwidth costs nothing and most servers these days even
accept 50-100MB mails.  This is why amavisd started truncating scanned
messages in 2009, instead of just skipping processing.  SA 3.4.3+ also have
mitigations to happily scan huge messages.
