At work we use Antigen, and it _removes_any_ .ZIP, sticks a text file in
the that says it's removed to protect against viruses. People started
finding it was futile to send others a .ZIP thru the email. So that's
probably one good reason why the .ZIP has fallen out of favor.

Oh, BTW, _every_ antivirus program can't detect a _new_ virus, in or out
of a .ZIP, when it first comes out. Takes an update of the signature
file before it can detect it (we've BTDT, GTTS). Is this because the
antivirus prog makers don't want to lose their cash cow by making a
detector that they don't have to update? I thought that some detectors
were "holistic", could detect many variants of a virus. Just not all
variants...
