IPS not blocking EICAR signature

I have a basic firewall policy set up with the default LAN_TO_WAN IPS policy enabled. I have downloaded a few different versions of the the standard EICAR test string and these appear in the firewall log under malware but they appear to make it through the firewall and get picked up by Windows Defender on the PC.

I'm relatively new to this type of firewall so am I missing something simple here? How do I get the firewall to actually block the traffic?
