Some commercial anti-virus products do multiple levels of uncompressing attachments trying to find out what's inside to inspect it. And anything that's still compressed after a dozen rounds is probably not something that should be delivered. We've also gotten encrypted files packed in multiple layers of compression, but so far the recipients haven't had a key to decode the probable viruses.
I can't imagine the level of paranoia I'd have if I did my work on Windows machines. It's nice to know that most of this crap simply won't run in my environment(s), even if I did open/unpack/decrypt them.
