Crab,
Seeing that S92fella won't answer your question, I will.
The S92 is cleared in icing upto 10,000' and down to -40deg C assuming of course that RIPS is on. Flight is prohibited in freezing rain, freezing drizzle and supercoolded large droplets (SLDs). Of course as with all types the amount of airframe icing would be limited by the standard transmission limits.
I think all of us, regardless of type would avoid SLDs if possible and would attempt to exit such an area ASAP. I would imagine that SLDs will paint really well on the weather radar so can be easily avoided by not flying through the red bits.
Editted to add....
I suppose that other types are not prohibted from flight in SLDs because the concept of SLDs is younger than most of the aircraft fleet.
