ClamAV detecting SSN in mail

Hello,

I have a mail system with virus filtering via ClamAV. It has been
working well, I've tested it with the EICAR check successfully.
However, ClamAV has been detecting false positives in certain emails
with the detection "Heuristics.Structured.SSN."

This is the most recent email it flagged as
"Heuristics.Structured.SSN", but is a false positive.
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2012-April/001417.html

It is a announcement on a FreeBSD mailing list. It has no viruses or
social security numbers.

Is there a way to decrease the sensitivity of this?

Thank you.
