It was possible in Episode 2 that Arthur didn't know, but not in Episode 3.
1) He could only not know if he's blind or stupid, and he isn't.
2) If he didn't know he would act differently in some of those scenes than he does. Arthur is unused to deception, either experiencing it or practicing it, as becomes clear in Episode 4. It also becomes clear that keeping Merlin's secret is giving him a crash course in it.
