Help yourself.

Tell the client to email thr file to you.

 

Or FTP.

Or Dropbox.

Still strange that Upwork doesn't allow me overrule that. 
I understand the need for safety, but once I make a conscious decision to download something that Upwork cannot scan I shouldn't have to move off platform or even stranger, file a ticket with the support team.
