BugBear-M getting through?

I just discovered that W32/Bugbear-E (Sophos name) is not being
detected in our configuration.
This worm is sent via a zip file which contains a html
file. The html file starts with a base64 block and ends
on a small piece of javascript:
I will attach a jpg with the info so it won't get rejected
by your installations.

The logging does not show that the htm inside the zip gets
scanned by MailScanner, it's just doing filename checks:

We are using version 4.28.6-1 together with Sophos,
Maximum Archive depth for scanning inside zips is set to 3,
Filetyp checks are disabled via "Filetype Rules =".

Any help is appreciated.

regards,
Ewald...
