Carl is right here, but I think this is a case of semantics.
What you are calling 'Real Time Scanning' I call 'On Access Scanning'.
If you turn off a scheduled hard drive scan you are NOT turning off On
Access Scanning. If you try to access a virus infected files (like your
zip file, or your eicar test file) then you will still get a pop-up
alerting you to the virus infection.
What you are calling Real Time Scanning does not mean that the virus
scanner is checking every file of your drives the whole time, its only
checking the files your PC is trying to access.

"scheduled real time scan" is an oxymoron.
real time scanning is not scheduled. It is continuous.

sorry i beg to differ
when i had my avg set up to start a system scan at at 14:00 it would scan
every file on my system -- i have eicar test files planted on each drive to
check the operation and would get popups saying it had detected them
now that i have scheduled scans disabled i do not get popups
yet it is still active -- as i said in my original post i cannot extract
from an infected zip
