I don't know why either. I've used it many times and I just tested it now by
sending an 8.9 MB zip that contains an installer EXE, which in turn contains
3-Rev EXEs and a number of DLLs to my mother (couldn't think, off the top of
my head, who else has a generic Gmail account that I could bug with this ;-)
and it went through and I called her and we downloaded it from her Gmail to
her computer and unziped it and all went as expected. What took the most
time was explaining to her what and why I had sent and why, after all of
that, I was having her delete everything. (she doesn't know an EXE from a
shoe ;-)

Maybe the email address you are sending from has to be on the recipient's
contact list? Or, possibly, there is some other setting on the Gmail account
you are sending to that adds additional restrictions? However, this is the
trick for sending a zip to a generic Gmail address that by default rejects
zip and exe attachments.

In all cases I can remember, however, we had been corresponding first and I
would have been on their allowed contact list. I'm not in the habit of
sending out unsolicited EXEs. ;-)
