The emails you have seen saying that ClamAV can detect password-encrypted
zipped viruses are correct, but only for viruses which are known to be
distributed in the wild by means of password encrypted zip files.
This does not mean that ClamAV can detect *any* virus which has been placed in
a password encrypted zip file (such as your test).
Therefore, if a password-encrypted zip file is the "normal" form of a virus,
it's very likely that ClamAV will detect it.
If a password-encrypted zip file is not the normal form of a virus, it's very
unlikely that ClamAV will detect it.
