Why sort out zip files for special attention; never open any attachment or click any links in unsolicited email.

It would appear he was replying to the thread topic "Zipped malware attachments on the increase..." therefore not necessarily giving inappropriate "special attention" to .zip files.

Nonetheless, you are correct concerning clicking on links or opening attachments of any type. Unsolicited emails should simply be deleted without further action from the recipient.
