The presence of VBA macros and a critical ClamAV detection for 'Doc.Trojan.Maldade-10036492-0' strongly suggests malicious intent. The VBA macro, though simple, is indicative of a downloader or initial execution vector for a more complex payload. The Maldade family is known for its use of such techniques to deliver further malware.
