Whenever I run a scan, the majority of the log entries say "The archive cannot be scanned because the archive is password protected".  Most of these log entries do not refer to archive files.  Does anyone know what causes this?

Maybe you post the name and full path of some of them...
Seems to be related to 'auto-encrypted' files from Spybot, Ad-aware, etc.  ::)

Do some house keeping and get rid of old (two weeks or older I would suggest) quarantined/backup/deleted/recovery entries for adaware, spybot or similar programs. This should reduce the numbers greatly.
