Yep - MailScanner just released a new version (4.28.5-2) that does filename 
checking on password protected zips.  So as long as you block *.pif/*.exe/
*.com/*.scr etc. You're home and hosed.  http://www.mailscanner.info/

You may be able to rip out the perl code that is used to achieve this and 
build it into your own home-spun, procmail recipe or something.
