Hi,

The amavisd package is bundled with some exemples of rules to ban / protected
attachments based on filename/mime-type.

Notably there is this section:
 # [ qr'^\.(Z|gz|bz2)$'           => 0 ],  # allow any in Unix-compressed
 # [ qr'^\.(rpm|cpio|tar)$'       => 0 ],  # allow any in Unix-type archives
 # [ qr'^\.(zip|rar|arc|arj|zoo)$'=> 0 ],  # allow any within such archives

that is supposed to override banned file within archives, however un-commenting
thoses line this doesn't work / is not enough, at least for zip archives. 
To make it work i had to use the following line:
        [ qr'^application/x-zip-compressed$'i => 0],

so there is a proposed patch to include in the package:
