Freezing should have an effect on amylase. Amylase is an enzyme, which is therefore a protein, and has optimum conditions. Freezing it will severely slow it down, and I'm pretty sure will denature it, so yes it will completely reduce if not stop the effect of amylase.

Freezing does not denature enzymes, heat does.
