Some do... some don't. Some companies don't deem it necessary to waste
system resources reading the contents of an archive when they really
only need to do it when the contents are executed/extracted. The mail
server scanning software I run scans all kinds of archives from the
standard zip to sit (Mac Stuff-it files) and unix tar and gzip files.
