You should use either MPD or LDLite meta-commands. Neither of these is
directly viewable in LDraw, but either will support rotatable parts in a
single file. MPD is probably more "LDraw-compatible", because you can use
MPDSplitter to parse an MPD file back into the separate DAT files.
Don't use zip format for downloading. Download directly as DAT. That way,
if the server supports application/x-ldraw, people can click into viewing
the model directly from their browser. Or you could offer files in both
DAT/MPD and ZIP formats.
