Hyperterminal is a POS. I would blame it before I'd blame the
protocol.

You could try kermit.

Not sure why that would matter. As long as Hyperterminal is
configured to operate in half-duplex mode. Of course I'd be
shocked if Hyperterminal actually does work in half-duplex
mode.

There's nothing I can think of in the ZModem protocol that
requires full duplex. It sounds like hyperterminal isn't
properly set up for a half-duplex link (it's quite possible
that it can't be).
