You need to ensure that:
(1) the folder on the server where the file sits has appropriate file
permissions set
(2) the zip or exe needs to be a genuine zip or exe, just altering the
extension alone will not make it work

i dont think this is the problem. i think the problem is, the browser
recognizes the file extension and opens it. for example. if you didnt have
ms word on your pc, the browser would ask to download it. but with text..
the browser knows it can open it, and it does.
maybe another thing you could do is.... put your .doc and .txt into zip
archives. that would fix your problem, but i dunno if you want to do that.
