Scanning inside archive files

Hello Everyone

I am trying to use Sophos EndPoint Security and Control, Version 10.0 in order to virus scan some archives (zip, rar, 7z, etc). However I don't understand the scan results. I am using the 'Right Click Scanning' feature to scan 'All Files' and 'Scan within archive files' for Adaware, PUA's and suspicious files. For example, I have a zip file with 4 blank text files within it. No matter how many text files I add to the zip file the results show that only two items were scanned. If I extract the zip file and then scan it, it shows that 5 items were scanned which are the 4 text files and one folder.

I don't understand what these 2 items scanned signify and whether indeed the contents of the zip file is actually being scanned.

Thanks for your help..
