One thing that would bite you on a for loop like this is files with
spaces in them. Using a while loop is one way to get around that if
you want to do the rm one at a time for whatever reason:
find -iname "*.zip" | while read i; do rm "$i"; done;
At least, that's the way I tend to do it when I'm dealing with files
which contain spaces. Using xargs, you can use the -0 option to
handle files with spaces in them. (I really ought to use of xargs
more often. :)
