    Hi there,

    First, I do not believe you are speaking of a WordPress.com site, as .zip files cannot be uploaded to WordPress.com sites on the free plan and you don’t own any sites in your account on a paid plan.

    Second, what happens to downloaded files is controlled by a computer’s operating system. There is no way for you to force someone’s operating system to automatically open a file once downloaded, except by installing malware on their computer first.

    So what you want to do is not possible, regardless of the software you are using to build your website.
