Well, for ClamAV it's as simple as editing /etc/clamd.conf; change this line
ScanRAR
... to this:
#ScanRAR

Hopefully your decompression-scanners have a similar configurability.

I suppose there's still the worry that someone will slip a virus into a .rar, then rename it to .zip, and rely on the client's unzipper "helpfully" recognizing the RAR format despite the wrong extension.
