Amavis *should* detect encrypted archive mail and log as “UNCHECKED-ENCRYPTED”. Disposition of such mail is dependent on CC_UNCHECKED (final destiny) in your amavisd.conf. There is a setting to rewrite Subject when unchecked disposition is set to pass.

  * a string can be prepended to Subject (for local recipients only)
    if mail could not be decoded or checked entirely, e.g. due to
    password-protected archives or non-decodable mail bombs:

    $undecipherable_subject_tag = '***UNCHECKED*** ';  # undef disables it

These mails have been fitted with password-protected zip files (which are virus-infected) - so that they cannot be scanned - and in the body of the mail is included the password of these zip files.
