A few things (I'm still kind of new to some of this myself). Check the syntax [PT,QSA] vs [P,L,QSA]
Do you want to proxy the request immediately or let the next handler process the request? Do you need to pass the query string to the url or just the zip? Do turn on the rewrite log and check to see if you are getting what you want. Hope this helps!

Use the RewriteLog to see what mod_rewrite is doing.
