You can edit the `authorized_extensions` admin setting to allow upload of `.zip`s:

On this site, the admin has enabled uploading of `.pdf` files and files with no extension by adding `|.pdf|` on the end.

However, I suggest using Gist if you need to quickly share multiple code files without assets like images.

All of the GitHub `/user/repo/blob/...` URLs onebox nicely in Discourse, so you can use that too.
