As davidfor mentioned, .zip is not a recognized ebook filetype on a Kobo ereader. CBZ and CBR are so you might want to rename your .zip file to .cbz which calibre and Kobo's ereaders are both happy with. OTOH, you may run into issues with the file display order given the filenames used in a cbz/cbr are fairly rigid.
