    NTFS supposedly handles files of arbitrary file sizes (up to max size of partition). FAT might have some problems with very large files, but then again, FAT is old and crap.

    Other than that, I see no reason why "windows" would create un-unzippable zip archives, in fact that sounds like total nonsense.

    Try it. It's not the size of the file itself, but the overflow of integers in 32-bit programs and the Windows API that is the problem.
