Only your firewall manufacturer may tell: if the software looks at
file-ending only, it will not recognize that this is in fact a *.zip
(bec. it will be a *.docx, for instance). If it does indeed look at the
file itself, then you either need to change the rule to let through
*.zip, the manufacturer needs to update his product, or you need to get
hold of a new firewall software.
In itself, categorically disallowing *.zip does not seem to be a very
intelligent rule and lead to unneccessary bandwidth usage (for all
that's worth ...).
