MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The RTF document contains an OLE object that exploits CVE-2017-0199 to automatically link to and download a remote HTA file. This HTA payload is hosted at the unknown reputation URL http://46.183.223.41/ex/12345678912345678912345678.hta. The presence of the weaponized URL and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent.
