Azure function host dies with OutOfMemoryException, without triggering

Quick version: Why does my function host kill it self after 5 minutes without doing anything?

I have an Azure function which uses nClam to scan blob files for viruses. It seems to work just fine, but suddenly it will kill it self even before triggering on any blob! It will just shutdown after 5 minutes with an OutOfMemoryException:

Below is my scanning blob triggered function:

[FunctionName("scanImports")]
        public static async Task Scan([BlobTrigger("imports/{newBlobName}", Connection = "BlobConnectionstring")]CloudBlockBlob newBlob, string newBlobName, ILogger log, ExecutionContext context)
        {
            var config = new ConfigurationBuilder().SetBasePath(context.FunctionAppDirectory).AddJsonFile("local.settings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true).AddEnvironmentVariables().Build();

            var clamClient = new ClamClient(config["ContainerAddress"], int.Parse(config["ContainerPort"]));
            var blobFileStream = await newBlob.OpenReadAsync();

            using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                await blobFileStream.CopyToAsync(memoryStream);
                var result = await clamClient.SendAndScanFileAsync(memoryStream.ToArray());
                bool isClean = result.InfectedFiles == null || result.InfectedFiles.Count == 0;

                // Check if newBlob is infected. If infected, move to quarantineBlob
                if (!isClean)
                {
                    CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(config["blobConnectionstring"]);
                    CloudBlobClient client;
                    CloudBlobContainer container;
                    CloudBlockBlob quarantineBlob;

                    client = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
                    container = client.GetContainerReference(config["QuarantineBlobName"]);

                    await container.CreateIfNotExistsAsync();

                    quarantineBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(newBlobName);
                    quarantineBlob.Properties.ContentType = newBlob.Properties.ContentType;

                    await quarantineBlob.UploadFromStreamAsync(memoryStream);
                    await newBlob.DeleteAsync();
                }
            }
        }

Update 1: The host dies after exactly 5 minutes with a OutOfMemoryException. I have tried to extend the function timeout, that made no difference. During that time the process will constantly use 5-8% cpu and before it dies the process will be using over 1500 MB memory.

Update 2: If I remove all code from the function, leaving only a single log.info() statement, the host still kills it self after 5 minutes with an OutOfMemoryException

The cause of my problem was that the blob I was trying to trigger on had 100.000+ files in it. Microsoft defines that as High scale.

So my code actually had no problems. It is just that if I try to trigger on a "high scale" blob, then my code will do nothing but just allocate memory and die.
