Hello Rob,

We don't have a specific option in the latest version to block an email attachment.
Using AVG anti-spam feature, you can blacklist/whitelist emails that you get from a specific domain.
In general, email component of AVG will scan for attachments sent through all emails.
If a threat has been detected in the attachments, then AVG will immediately remove it.
Thank you.

This used to be easy to set in previous versions. Now the email attachment filter option is gone. How do I block all .zip files in email attachements?

So with this latest version,  there is now no way to block certain files from your system??? I have been able to do this in every version…     Why would this be removed?  So now I have to find a third party app or another AV system that does what I want.
