> What are uses cases for such a 'misguided' domain?

Anyone who has invoice.zip on an email should see that as a clickable link if the url detection is right

Then for example you put a file on / of your domain that downloads a malicious .zip file

See where this is going?

I meant: legitimate use cases.

And I don’t buy into .zip being made part of automatic URL detection in tools, for all the illegitimate reasons it’ll be used for. Vendors of email clients, messengers and chat applications tend to stick to a core of well-known TLDs.
