Zip is not downloading in CodeIgniter

I use jQuery to post some data to page and download zip file using zip library in CodeIgniter, it only outputs some string data and downloading doesn't work.

Output error String data

Code:

$data = json_decode($data);
foreach ($data as $id) {
    $this->db->where('idjobs', $id);
    $this->db->where('jobs_has_clients.jobs_idjobs', $id);
    $this->db->join('status', 'status.idstatus = jobs.status_idstatus', 'left');
    $this->db->join('jobs_has_clients', 'jobs_has_clients.jobs_has_clientsSet = status.statusFor', 'left');
    $this->db->join('cv', 'cv.clients_idclients = jobs_has_clients.clients_idclients', 'left');
    $get_all_data_q = $this->db->get('jobs');
    $all_data_to_array_q = $get_all_data_q->result_array();
    $a = 0;
    foreach ($all_data_to_array_q as $zipData) {
        $path = './' . $zipData['cvFilePath'];
        $this->zip->read_file($path);
        $a++;
    }

    if ($a != 0) {
        $this->zip->download('job_' . $id . '_' . date('Y-m-d') . '_cv_archive.zip');
    }
}

You can't launch a download from an Ajax query. You should load your script from your browser, not from jQuery.
