Malware Today is deliberately bloated so you can't submit it to Virus Total and other web sites because they have a maximum size submission limitation. Thus the malicious actors make them to be greater than the maximum, max., size.

Often you will find a 24MB EXE can be compressed in a RAR or ZIP file that is a few hundred kilobytes in size. However sometimes the EXE is bearing a large PDF, MOV or other legitimate data file such that the compression within an archive file is not much less than the size of the EXE file.
