It seems to me that the HTML contains the binary EXE without any encoding:

$ cat -v message.html | fold | head -5
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Location:File://foo.exe
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary

MZM-^P^@^C^@^@^@^D^@^@^@...?M-^?^@^@...^@^@^@^@^@^@^@@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@

Regardless, f-prot should list the ZIP attachment, and the files contained
within the ZIP ...
