The sample contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro that utilizes the Shell() function to execute arbitrary commands. This indicates a dropper functionality, consistent with the IceID family. The ClamAV detection name further supports this attribution. The primary intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload.
