A zipped archive containing an executable cannot (unless something has changed that I don't know about) be automatically opened by any mail client - the user must make a deliberate attempt to open the archive then exectute the attachment (although the actual extraction can be performed automatically by many decompression utilities if you double-click an executable or document inside its browser) there is of course no allowing for the stupidity of users - but if you have a stupid enough user you could induce him to bypass any protection anyhow.
