You have to test the following in your lab before doing it. It was sometime ago and this happened to me so i can't recall exactly what i did but here it is. There is a index folder in the message tracking log folder, you may try to delete it (just the file in it not the folder) and restart "Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search" service, it should take a while to rebuild.
I would suggest not to tinker on the message tracking log file, make sure antivirus exception was made to the path. If you need to work on the file, you can try to copy it to another location and work on it, log parser etc.
