That's because you sent yourself the virus zipped. Send it to yourself
unzipped.

You mean, Amon, the system monitor took over, right? :-)

The full-time scanner will not strip the attachment, neither will it
create a quarantine folder *within TB!* from which you can't execute
the contained attachment/s within messages and yet you're able to
safely examine the rest of the message.

No, it will not strip out the zip file.

Try it again with the unzipped virus.

This seems to be a limitation of the monitor. Note also that Amon
doesn't holler when you're handling the zipped eicar. You can copy it
to another part of the system. It's not until you open the archive
that your stopped. Turn off Amon, unzip eicar, restart Amon and try to
move eicar to another location. You can't. Try to download the
unzipped eicar. You can't with the system monitor running. You can
download the zipped version though. The plug-in's behaviour is no
different.
