C# Web API Code:

public IActionResult GetZipFile(string filename)
{
    // It can be zip file or pdf but we need to change contentType respectively
    const string contentType ="application/zip";
    HttpContext.Response.ContentType = contentType;
    var result = new FileContentResult(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"{path_to_files}\file.zip"), contentType)
    {
         // It can be zip file or pdf but we need to change the extension respectively
        FileDownloadName = $"{filename}.zip"
    };

    return result;
}

Angular Code:

Requirement: FileSaver ( Install file saver package)

import * as FileSaver from 'file-saver';

 this.http.get(url,{ responseType: ResponseContentType.Blob }).subscribe((response)=>{
             var blob = new Blob([response['_body']], {type: "application/zip"});
              FileSaver.saveAs(blob,dlData.file_name);
        }).catch((error) => {
           // Error code
        });
