avast keep not detecting a malware

Hello guys,
I have submitted a file multiple times to avast but it has not been added to virus definition since last week. Many avs are now detecting it but avast.
Whats happening?
Here the latest virus total link:

Thanks for your time.

Maybe it is detected by FileRep or the Sandbox/Deepscreen you ca only test this in a Virtual machine.

Hello Steven,
Thanks for your reply.
Thats a good Idea, I believe I will create a virtual machine to test this special detections. I thought that every special detection would become a signature detection, but maybe this is not true. Maybe what is already being detected by other ways like file rep would not have a signature in database.
Anyway, tonight I will create a virtual machine and test it. I will post the results here. Hope it detects
Thanks!

FileRep, DeepScreen (Avast 2014) Sandbox, and Evo-Gen are working on execution.

Hello,
I have created a vmware machine, installed avast and then run both cpl files that I received by email.
Avast missed both. One of them downloaded an exe that installed itself to registry wich avast also missed.
Avast missed both of them and the droped exe badly :-(
Thanks for your time!

As avast has a large foothold in the Brazilian av market,
so understandably Brazillian malcreants especially try to circumvent and harden against avast! detection as
one can conclude from this report:

and here at the beginning phase of the av detection cycle:
https://malwr.com/analysis/ZjgzMzE1NGNjNzgwNDRhZGFkODQzZjBiYTE5NmU2OTQ/
(shellcode malware)
In Brazil some malcreants call avast! the "Brazilian av sieve", this should not be so,
therefore what Eddy suggests is the most sensible thing to do - report to virus AT avast dot com.

Hello guys!
I already submitted this file 3 or 4 times in the last 7 days to avast (using the link provided).
Unfortunatly avast takes months to detect cpl files when I submit to them.
Its very frustating.
Thanks for your time!
