I don't quite get what you want. You can already do rules like
From:   /path/to/filename       yes
where the /path/to/filename contains a list of address patterns, or
anything else that goes in the middle of a rule.
Or do you want to say
"Don't check for encrypted archives if the attachment is called
'somethingmagic.zip'"
?
