Do you mean that the client is running Windows and can't see zip files that were generated on a Linux machine, or that the client is Linux and you can't see files generated by that client? The latter is more likely, file extensions are almost useless in Linux. Haven't toyed with this, but I could see a Linux client having issues filtering by a file 'type' since that would require reading at least a small portion of each file to determine whether or not or is a zip file.
Do the files you are looking for have the .zip extension? I highly doubt the browser is able to distinguish between files based on where they were generated without some sort of custom plugin magic (since it shouldn't matter).

Is this a standard HTML input file field? I would recommend removing the accept parameter to see if that clears it up. What values are you providing to accept?
Can you see the files if you tell the file chooser window to show all files?

There must be something in your HTML code that is triggering this behavior.
Do you have any JS that might be interfering?
