Hi,

0.95.2, clamav has closed a bug #1554

https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1554

where an archive embedded in say a bitmap file was not
detected and searched for viruses , but the archive would be detected
by popular unarchivers.

However, when I test, an ecrypted zip embedded in another file is not
reported as Encrypted.Zip when ArchiveBlockEncrypted is on in clamd.conf,
so it would still be possible to send a virus within an encrypted zip
by simply appending a few bytes to the start of the archive.
