It does not matter what the file is, zip, exe, html, image.  My hosting 
company will not allow DVD size files on their servers.  Every type of 
upload I have to their servers either block the upload, or will just 
show the file with a Zero file size.  They have some security scripts, 
or something, in place to make sure you cannot have such a large file on 
their servers.
