That's tiny, it shouldn't cause the problem.

Does your zip file have folders in it?  If so, I would try
just sending only files:

I can't believe that's the problem.

Just for fun, if you want to see the size limit of your SMTP

for a 250-SIZE line in the chatter.  But in this case, the
problem was with the SMTP server of mac.com.
