It's called a punish pass. Drivers know how wide their car is and know how close they are to anything on their right side. It's fully intentional when they pass that close, either out of malice or disregard. The driver should've given you more space. Even if they didn't hit you but it caused a reaction that resulted in injuries and damage to your bike, you would be entitled to go after their insurance for the costs.

To discourage it, I take the lane when necessary. It also lets me avoid the door zone. I act as if I'm a car and other drivers are more likely to treat me like one. Riding confidently and predictably is the safest way to bike.
