Well Home Edition scanes packed files too,but its limited only to executable packagers like UPX,ASPack,ASProtect and so on. Packed (compressed) files like ZIP,RAR,CAB won't be scanned by On-Access module in Home Editon. Actually you don't need to worry,because when you run the file from archive it needs to be extracted first,and when its extracted,avast! on-access detects it in TEMP folder (usually). You can scan inside ZIP,RAR,CAB and so on with Explorer extension command (right click on file and Scan)
...but there is a workaround...If you do a suitable search on this forum, you may actually find something....hint, hint
