The first time I tried to send archived files to/from a Gmail email account was one month ago and I noticed that you cannot send these kinds of files. I tried multiple times and failed always.
If I send an email to a Gmail account, I get a reply with the text message:
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipients failed.
anemailaddress@gmail.com
Viewing the email source, I found out this:
Final-Recipient: rfc822;anemailaddress@gmail.com Action: failed

The archived files I tried were .zip, .rar, no password, with password, encrypted. None of them worked. The archive contained a Kicad project.
Is there a way to circumvent this?

files which are used as temporary files. Do you have one of those files in the zip? If so, I wonder if Google is thinking it's a part of a multi-volume archive file (since programs like 7-zip sometimes split archive files up and use the file extension.000
). If so, that would conflict with Google's other rule: "zip file within another zip file". – Mike B Apr 27 '15 at 6:59
