ClamAV can't scan encrypted archives, because there's no way to tell it the
password. Unless the encrypted archive matches a signature in it's encrypted
form, there's no virus detection here.
It can either uniformly let through, or uniformly block, all encrypted archives.
If you want sophisticated zip file handling, consider MIMEDefang [1] and
Archive::Zip
