Dropbox doesn't have the ability to password protect files. The link to the file can have a password, but you would have had to enter it to download the file.
If the sender told you that the Zip file is password protected, you'll need to download the file and open it on your computer. Whatever software you use for opening a Zip file should prompt you for the password.
