Try right clicking the zip file, check whether you have an option to "open
with",

If have open with, you point to open with,
click on choose program
select winzip from the list
At bottom make sure you check the box for "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file"

If you dont see winzip on the list.
click the browse button
And browse for the winzip.exe file
