Check your logs, the oversized zip file was probably detected as a virus 
by clam and hence no notifications were sent.. Also check clamd.conf for 
these lines..

# Mark archives as viruses (e.g. RAR.ExceededFileSize, 
Zip.ExceededFilesLimit)
# if ArchiveMaxFiles, ArchiveMaxFileSize, or ArchiveMaxRecursion limit is
# reached.
# Default: disabled

If you can use clamavmodule, some parameters for clam can be set in 
MailScanner.conf itself.

Hope this helps,
