For anyone who stumbles on this thread the following works as of May 2022 to get around the antivirus check:

#!/bin/bash
fileid="FILEIDENTIFIER"
filename="FILENAME"
html=`curl -c ./cookie -s -L "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=${fileid}"`
curl -Lb ./cookie "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&`echo ${html}|grep -Po '(confirm=[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)'`&id=${fileid}" -o ${filename}

Thank you very much for this practical and amazing script
