As far as I've found Adobe doesn't distribute Flash for Linux in .zip. Check the link I gave. (The other OSes don't list endings, and I have no desire to download them all to check.) Either the OP got a repackaged file from someone other than the real Adobe or it's for another OS that uses .so endings or something else?
