No.
It means, that there is no virus inside, and clamav does not report a virus
on your system.
"Oversized.RAR" is NOT A VIRUS. Read the docs. Oversized.RAR is a way to
tell you that this rar file is regarded as a mail bomb.
Again, read the archives, you can define the treshhold for this detection in
the config file.

Usually this happens, if you compress huge uncompressed pictures (i.e. BMP)
or really huge text files.

So the onlinescanner has a more relaxed setting for the treshhold.

Fix your configuration, if you need to accept that file.
However, since some files are simply compressable enough, there will always
be some file, which will hit that treshhold, however high it may be, without
being a real mailbomb.
Anyway, disabling mailbomb detection is not a good idea, as it will allow
someone to send you a file which immediately takes down your mail system.
16kb file which expand to about 120GB are not rare. [Even if no such file
hit my live servers yet, I do have some of them on my system for testing.]
