Then the usual user will not be able to open the zipfile when it has a zpp-extension and not be able to click the file inside "naked_woman.exe" which actually is a virus.

Deleting executable attachemnts and unscannable zips from the mail is done in most of the companies I sysadmin. Some Users still click on everything that has a icon and a promising name. MS-click-me-advertising has done some braindamager to the weaker minded.
