It depends on your policy for password-protected archives.  Think of 0/1/2 as 
No/Yes/Maybe (where Maybe includes the subcases "I can't tell because I can't 
unencrypt the file" and "I can't tell because I wasn't able to allocate memory" 
and "I can't tell because...")

You could adopt a policy that "yes, password-protected zip files can be assumed 
to be viruses" with the following clamd.conf option:

ArchiveBlockEncrypted
