Gmail won't accept zips containing certain file types
(at one point they even refused my zips containing .txt files!);
as of this moment they also silently drop them,
notifying neither sender nor recipient,
despite any claim to the contrary, e.g.

However, simply renaming the zip file (type) may get around this,
as may the already-mentioned "wrapping" of the original zip
by encrypting it (even within another zip).
