I definately have the zip file with the password and Trend's email antivirus does catch it as well as their enterprise desktop protection, Officescan.
You haven't provided enough information to determine whether you are just as confused as everyone else, or whether you know what you are doing and have determined something very useful to know.
Specifically, YOUR (and everyone else's) mailserver AV program will detect "static" viruses in encrypted .ZIP files. They will also all detect any encrypted viruses after they have been decrypted manually. They will also all detect viruses such as Bagle.J that appear in both non-encrypted files and in encrypted files, but will *only* detect them in the non-encrypted files.
If you proof of a mailserver AV program catching a non-static virus (such as Bagle.J) in an encrypted .ZIP file, this would be news indeed. However, you would need to check the CRCs of the files within the .ZIP files to make sure that they are not the same.
