The virus is likely inside the zip file.  When in doubt about an
attachment, I upload it to http://virustotal.com where they run the
file through 40+ of the top AV products.

If you saved the zip file, it depends on the OS and email client you
are using.  On a Linux or similar system (like BSD), "find . -iname
\*ups\*invoice\*.zip" should track down the file.  On windows the
search function is very different depending on the version of windows
and any 3rd party software that may have been added (like the google,
yahoo, and bing desktop search addons).
