Sounds like maybe you didn't flag the zips as binary (-kb) in your repository? Windows XP would probably try to add CR characters as files are downloaded because Windows uses CR/LF for line endings whereas Linux uses just LF.
The rest of this response is not likely to apply, but I'll write it just in case: I've seen one XP system that refused to unpack a .zip file containing actual CVS repository files (ending in ,v). More accurately, it would unpack the zip, but only the non-repo files would show up unpacked; the repo files never came out. I never saw an error message either though, so I bet that's a totally different issue from yours...that and I think you mean "download" to mean retrieving versions, not whole repository files anyway.
