It depends, what part of the result is unexpected to you?

         1) encrypted files inside zip archives will always be unscanned,
because they are encrypted. MS cannot do a brute-force password search in a
reasonable time in order to facilitate decryption, and scanning an
encrypted file is pointless.

         2) since you have "Allow Password-Protected Archives = no" all
encrypted zip archives will be quarantined. If you want to let encrypted
files through.
