Your RewriteRule is recursing on itself, and passing download.php as the parameter to itself.

You can try either of the following.

To match only zip/exe:

RewriteRule ^(.*\.(zip|exe))$ download.php?filedownload=$1 [L]

To exclude download.php from matches, place this before your RewriteRule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !download.php
