That's a pretty broad question, but in general, the answer is yes, as long as ClamAV can recognize the format of the file. That does include many archives, but I believe there are a few that cannot be expanded. There are also some size restrictions on how much of a large file will be scanned due to RAM restrictions.

If you can narrow down your question to some specific file types, we could give you a more accurate answer.
