#1 This won't work. It is solely the ".img" extension that gmail blocks. Gmail temporarily extracts the file names within the ZIP file (even if it is encrypted with a password) and if the ".img" extension is present, the ZIP file will be blocked. #2 It has nothing to do with Windows. You could be using Linux or macOS. If the file has a ".img" extension (even if it is simply a text file with the .img added to the end or the .txt changed to .img), gmail will block it. As mentioned by the OP, a simple workaround is to tack on a different extension. ".txt" works. I have been using ".dat".
