Cannot Find Duplicated Encrypted .zip files

I have a problem when I try to find duplicated encrypted Zip files.
It seems that since the program cannot access the file content It does not check whether the Zip file itself is duplicated. The only way I found to find those files is to search by size, but I can not be sure that the files are actually equals. Is there a way to solve this situation? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure DC is not scanning the file? It should treat it as a chunk of binary like any other file, and report true duplicates. (It won't report on the individual files inside the archive, but will tell you if the entire archive file itself is duplicate).
