With a second extension that long, it should get through anyway.
You can always add an "allow" line to filename.rules.conf to allow *.zip 
files if you like
allow    \.zip$    -    -
with each of the 4 fields of that line separated by tab characters, not 
spaces. Put it near the top of the filename.rules.conf file and then 
"service MailScanner reload" to make it re-read the config immediately.

But I would check your maillog to see exactly why it got blocked first, 
it may not be that simple a reason!
