Yes. An extrbal redirect

     location = /get_file {
         if ( $args ~ file=(.*)\.zip ) {
             set  $file  $1;
             rewrite ^   /download/$1   redirect;
         }

         return  404;
     }

or internal redirect:

     location = /get_file {
         if ( $args ~ file=(.*\.zip) ) {
             set  $file  $1;
             rewrite ^   /download/$1   last;
         }

         return  404;
     }

     location /download {
         root  ...
     }
