Yep, there is a little bit of a dirty hack for amavisd-new.
--snip
Update your amavisd-new:
Patch: amavisd-new-20030616-p7
- do_unzip and do_unrar: retain an archive if any of its components is
password protected or encrypted (plus unpack what can be unpacked,
as before). This gives virus checkers a chance to examine the original
unpacked archive as a whole (e.g. scanning for variants of W32/Mimail),
matching it in non-decoded form against virus patterns even if containing
password-protected components. As a consequence, some virus scanners
may now log their complaint when encountering such protected archives
which previously didn't reach them. Such log entries should be considered
informational only;
plus (if needed) apply the patch to preserve the original mail for virus scanners to
see, by Ted Cabeen or me, posted today.

If you like to patch by hand:
--snip
Adding qr'^MAIL$' to $keep_decoded_original_re in amavisd.conf :
$keep_decoded_original_re = new_RE(
qr'^MAIL$', # retain full original message for virus checking
qr'^(ASCII(?! cpio)|text|uuencoded|xxencoded|binhex)'i,
);
plus the patch below (much like the Ted's) may work as a stop-gap solution:

What a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
