The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.Eight941-1. Static analysis detected VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The presence of these macros and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest the document is intended to deliver a payload.
