Correct, that's how it works.

That would be an entirely different thing. The browser requests one
resource and gets one, a ZIP file in this case. For another resource
like an HTML page for example the browser would have to send another
request, because you can't send two resources back at the same. One
request, one response, one resource.

It can't be done in the script because it can't be done in HTTP.

Of course the script execution can continue, but you can't send a second
document back to the browser after the first requested file was sent.
