Does anyone know if F-Prot can be used to remove all macros whether a
virus is detected or not?

I did a quick test and it doesn't do it with the /removeall switch set
on its own.

The /removeall switch is in my f-prot for dos (3.14b) switch list.

The existence of the /saferemove switch to only remove macros if a
virus is found suggests that without the switch it will remove all
macros regardless.

I was hoping to avoid deliberately infecting a file.

That doesn't work either. Neither does /delete /removeall
