If you have a Google account then you /could/ just use Google Drive:
https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive
Google Drive has a 15GB capacity free tier, plenty for what you need,
if you haven't filled it already.
Create a shared folder on your Google Drive.
Copy and paste the zip file to it.
Allow the recipient viewer access to the shared folder (you can allow
anyone or be specific to the recipient(s)).
Then just send then a link to the file, they can then just click on the
link and the file will download.
