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...
