Some ISPs and businesses strip or drop emails with attachments known to 
potentially carry viruses.  This would be .vbs .pif .exe and .zip, amoung 
others.  I would suspect that somewhere along the way, someone's virus 
software is dumping your email.

I would have thought it was his end until you pointed out that he has recieved 
.zip files from other places.  Puzzling...
