Unfortunately there is significant overlap between plain-text-password-servers and servers that can't be bothered to use antivirus. Also, the string may not work if it's not at the start of the file. AV often doesn't process the whole file for efficiency purposes.
It's not about the password on the server where you want to log in, it's about CSV files stored on the machine of the cybercrook who wants to use the passwords to steal people's identities.
