NotI am not sure if you are using D6Drupal 6 or D7Drupal 7, but in D6Drupal 6 you would choose:
Admin > Content > Content Types > [ Your Content Type ] > Manage Fields > [Edit your file field ] and look for the field setting of "Permitted upload file extensions"
In that field, enter zip
Admin > Content > Content Types > [Your Content Type] > Manage Fields > [Edit your file field] and look for the field setting of "Permitted upload file extensions"
In that field, enter zip
D7Drupal 7 is probably similar. Look for Content Types under Admin > Structure ...
