It's in the Android FAQ (wiki). Your web browser is renaming .apk to .zip, so you only have to rename it back to .apk. Don't unpack the zip file.

Any clue to how to do that?

If you're using Windows 7, at the top of the Explorer window go to Organize / Folder and search options, select the View tab and untick Hid extensions for known file types, then click OK.
Then right click on the file, select Rename and change .zip to .apk.

Are you kidding me with this? You uncheck the box so that you can rename the file. If you can't even put in a tiny bit of effort into this then we won't help you.
