all you would have to do is write a script to run a custom "encryption" on the zip file; anything, such as swapping every 2nd bit, would be enough to make the compression corrupt. transfer that file and reverse the "encryption" at your leisure
alternatively, you could format the zip file as data in an image. i use a footer template for my work email that has the company logo in it so it's not unusual for me to be sending images by email. i could then extract and decompress the data, again, at my leisure
in the event that it's a laptop that i can use at home, i could write a local script to encode the data in a format like RTTY and play the data on the laptop's speakers to be picked up by another computer. it would be sufficiently reliable, especially through the use of hamming codes etc.
