The below group of AVs (0-3 missed samples) could have the same protection in the wild in August-September 2020 Real-World part of this test (despite different scoring): Avast, Bitdefender, Elastic, Eset, Fortinet, G-Data, K7, Kaspersky, Microsoft, Panda. Such spread of results is a natural statistical effect when one chooses 411 samples from tenths of thousands of different malware variants in the wild.

The SparkCognition result is slightly lower than expected by pure statistical reasoning.

The results of Acronis, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Cybereason, FireEye, Sophos, and Vmware are hard to explain by pure statistics - it is very probable that their protection in the wild could be lower as compared to the first group.

Edit.
Most AVs were set with no-default settings. For example, Microsoft Defender settings were as follows: Cloud protection level set to “High”, Cloud-delivered protection set to “Advanced”. Google Chrome extension “Windows Defender Browser Protection” installed and enabled.
