And indeed it does. You can even switch it on and off, of course :-)
Straight out of MailScanner.conf:

# Normally, you can still get the filenames out of a password-protected
# archive, despite the encryption. So by default filename checks are still
# done on these files. However, some people want to suppress this checking
# as they allow a few people to receive password-protected archives that
# contain things such as .exe's as part of their business needs. This option
# can be used to suppress filename checks inside password-protected 
archives.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Check Filenames In Password-Protected Archives = yes
