ClamAV can't scan encrypted archives, because there's no way to tell it the 
password.  Unless the encrypted archive matches a signature in it's encrypted 
form, there's no virus detection here.

It can either uniformly let through, or uniformly block, all encrypted archives.

If you want sophisticated zip file handling, consider MIMEDefang [1] and 
Archive::Zip
