There should be no need to zip them. GnuCash compresses the files by default 
using gzip.

It the files are read-only for her, it's likely she didn't really unzip the 
file, but her Mac may be treating the zip file as a read-only folder. So as 
long as the file is inside the archive, your partner can't change the files.

Try to send her the file without zipping it first and see what happens.
