That generally means that it has been rejected.  The usual sequence of 
events is:

You submit it, and an email comes to the maintainer asking for 
confirmation of the submission.  If that confirmation doesn't come, it 
could end up in archive.

Then CRAN runs automatic tests on Windows and Debian.  If those have 
sufficiently severe issues (I don't know what the exact cutoff is, but 
certainly ERRORs are severe enough, and probably WARNINGs too) then an 
email is sent to the maintainer, and it is moved to archive.  The last 
time I got one of those emails the header had

From: ligges using statistik.tu-dortmund.de
Reply-To: CRAN-submissions using R-project.org
To: murdoch using stats.uwo.ca
Cc: CRAN-submissions using R-project.org
Subject: [CRAN-pretest-archived] CRAN submission rgl 0.100.40

so maybe you can check your spam folder for a message like that.

If it passes the automatic test, it probably gets some manual testing; 
problems there would also lead to archiving, generally with a message 
from whoever did the testing.
