The programmers and the translators are different people who have probably never met eachother.
Translators usually just get to see the string they are translatinbg, and if they're lucky a 1 sentence explanation written by a programmer.
With no context, a "Zip file" might indeed mean a "postcode file" - perhaps it is a file for storing all the zip codes, and now it will be used for storing all the postcodes?
