Do you maybe have more information on how to reproduce the issue? The source, the file you were trying to download, etc.?

The only case where ZIP get downloaded for legitimate reasons are ugoira "animations", which are actually just a ZIP file containing images, each representing a single frame of the animation. For those, unless you download the "sample", then you'll get a ZIP.
