Problem solved. Here's what I did:
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-
check=0");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"targetfile.zip
\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize('sourcefile.zip'));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile ('sourcefile.zip');
