Just as I tried to explain in one of my previous posts an .epub file IS in fact a zip archive containing the book contents in html format ;-)
You can even "unzip" it and play with its contents.
So, Internet Explorer most probably looks at the header of the file and (as usual) decides that it knows better than an ignorant user and protects the user from saving the file under obviously "wrong" filename

By the way, .jar is also a zip file with some Java programs compressed inside
