A zip file in itself is not a danger until you try to unzip its contents and clcik on the payload file, etc.
If you save the eicar zip attachment to your HDD and then enter the directory in windows explorer and then single click on the zip file and see what happens.
Or try to double click on the (eicar) zip attachment in your email program and see what happens.
The simple act of a zip file getting through is not a problem, just my opinion.
