It's work!
You need three different parts of code:

HTML

Download<&/a>

JQuery

$('#download_btn').click(function(){
    window.location.href = '/?file=&download=1';
}).focusout (function(){
    window.location.href = '';
    return false;
});

PHP

        if(isset($_GET['download']) && isset($_GET['file'])){

            $zip_path = 'path_to/'.$_GET['file'].'.zip';

            if(file_exists($zip_path)){
                header('Content-Type: application/zip');
                header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($zip_path).'"');
                header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zip_path));
                header('Location: '.$zip_path);
            }

        }
