MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing a Document_Open VBA macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The macro attempts to disable virus protection and copy itself to other documents, indicating an effort to persist and spread. ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-5' further confirms its malicious nature.
