Try --heuristic-scan-precedence=yes (similar clamd option exists too).
It will cause ClamAV to stop and report on the first Heuristics.* match it finds. Phishing is part of Heuristics.*

The default behaviour is 'no', so when it sees a Heuristics.* it keeps scanning and if a malware is found,
then that is reported instead of the Heuristics.

The problem is that Heuristics.* is not only phishing, but some other stuff as well.
