I think its a bug in Mailscanner. There appears to be code in place in
the routine which calls clamavmodule which disables blocking of
encrypted files if there is a config option 'allowpasszips' set but I
cannot find that option.

Anyway below is a diff which disables blocking of encrypted archives
which is working fine for me.
