Hello there,
Currently, there is no way in the Authorize.Net system to check if a card is a prepaid debit card or a regular one. As such, there is no way to deny prepaid cards on regular or ARB transactions.

Is this to protect you against fraud, or to protect the customer against having their money charged and not given back? If the latter, I'd say just add a note in your charge form stating that all sales are final for prepaid debit cards, and link it to a paragraph or two on your legal page that goes into it in more detail (if necessary). If the former, sounds like there's no way to tell if it's a prepaid debit card or not, so about all you can do is estimate the loss from fraud and add some percentage to your prices to cover it.
