You can't currently check the contents of the zip files without unpacking
them. Unpacking them causes the other checks to be run on their members.

So now I have changed it:
setting the options as you have given it above will now just test the first
level of zip files to see if their members are encrypted at all. It won't
actually extract them. Because it doesn't extract them it can't do any more
levels of nesting.

BTW  "All-Viruses" now includes "Zip-Password" in the silent viruses list.

Give me some nice looking hills, a comfy pair of boots, some sunshine, and
a map.
