It most likely is not related to how the archive has been created and
only related to how you have transferred the archive to the test servers
- and what Windows knows about that process.
When you transfer the file Windows (the Attachment Manager or something
named in a similar way IIRC) adds meta data to the archive marking it as
unsafe. Whether or not Windows does so depends on how much it trusts the
source of your archive. Anything that gets copied from the "trusted
zone" is usually fine, but it also depends on the installed policies.
You should be able to silence the warning individually by clicking
"unblock" in the archive's properties (reachable via the context menu in
windows explorer).
A broader solution is to add your build server to the trusted zone or
even add a policy that says something like "do not preserve the zone of
origin" - both will require windows admin rights on the test servers and
both actions should be weighed against security concerns, of course.
