Using dbcc commands with an archive database

dbcc commands are allowed in an archive database:

While dbcc commands are executing, other users cannot access an archive database. If you attempt to access an archive database while dbcc commands are being performed, you receive a message saying that the database is in single-user mode.

You can use variants of the above dbcc commands on an archive database that is online or offline. However, you can use a dbcc command with a fix option only on an archive database that is online.
