If Norton detected it and you only saved the file to your drive, you should be OK. It's likely an older virus (judging by Google search results going back to 2008 for "ups zip virus",) so you are not likely to be infected just by downloading the file.
One search result said the file was named like this: UPS_INVOICE_187271.zip That may help you if you want to search for it on your computer. -Mark C.
