Probably you already found the answer but I was looking for similar thing and found this on reddit

You need to onboard a device. Use attack simulation files or drop an EICAR file on the onboarded device.

I tried using https://www.wicar.org/test-malware.html and create an alert for malware link detection when sent via email

I format the email that contains a body like: http://malware.wicar.org/data/ms14_064_ole_xp.html and sent it via gmail, since other email providers block the link before it is sent.
