Depends where you put it and what you put round it - for example

accept condition = ${if >={$message_size}{500k}{1}{0}}

in your data acl will cause an immediate 'accept' without running any
tests further down the acl - so if your malware stuff is lower down,
then that's probably good.

But if, instead, you do this

deny message = Malware detected
     condition = ${if >={$message_size}{500k}{1}{0}}
     malware = *

then it will do exactly the opposite of what you want - it will skip
the malware test if the message is not >= 500k.

http://wiki.exim.org/ExiscanExamples has a good set of examples.
