I used to use Thunderbird in XP, now I use it in ubuntu. I have often
received emails with attached zip files and had no problem with them. I've
no idea why you might have had the problem but I would look elsewhere.
- Ask the sender if he really did attach the zip file.
- Ask him if he attached it using the attachment button or if he dragged
and dropped it on his email program.
- Try opening the headers fully (View/Headers/All) and look for clues
- Turn off View attachments inline (in the View Menu) and try again
