There might be easier ways, but as I'm familiarising myself more with
elisp, here's one solution:

,----
| (defun org-contains-tag (tag)
|   (interactive)
|   (let* ((tagslist (org-split-string (org-get-tags-string) ":")))
|     (if tagslist (or (member tag tagslist) (member (upcase tag) tagslist)) nil)))
| 
| (defun org-not-archived () (not (org-contains-tag "archive")))
| 
| (setq org-refile-target-verify-function 'org-not-archived)
| 
| ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-c p") (lambda()(interactive)(message "Tag contains %s : %s" "archive" (if (org-contains-tag "archive")"yes" "no"))))
`----
