I guess you are talking about the residen protection. The problem is that selecting all files to be scanned (but putting an asterisk into the corresponding field) doesn’t automatically turn on the scanning of archives. So, the zip file is scanned with “all files” setting - but only as a simple binary file - without trying to read it “as a ZIP archive” and look inside (unpack it). So, the packed eicar inside is not detected.
In the Professional version, you can simply modify the properties of the resident protection task (specify the archive formats that should be unpacked); then, zipped eicar would be detected, of course. In the Home version, you may try to tweak the deftasks.xml file somehow to achieve the same (there was a number of posts about it on the board) - but it suffers from some problems I think (the deftasks.xml file is occasionally reverted to the original version).
