Alternative to Zip for shrinking email attachments

I'm having more and more situations where a zip file gets eaten by the recipients spam filter with no notification to sender or recipient.
I've tried renaming the .zip suffix to something else but that has mixed results.
Basically need to shrink an attachment to a reasonable size or in some cases attach many files so the Zip file was a "container".
Alternatives?
It also needs to be something that is easily handled by the recipient....Zip was nice since Windows Exploder now handles zip files.
