As suggested by Michael I got the solution of the question as follows:

string urlpath = "http://www.example.com/folder/"
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(urlpath);
    using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
    {
       using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
       {
           string html = reader.ReadToEnd();
           Regex regEx = new Regex(@".*/(?<filename>.*?)\.zip");
           MatchCollection matches = regEx.Matches(html);
           if (matches.Count > 0)
           {
                foreach (Match match in matches)
                {
                  if (match.Success)
                  {

                    Console.WriteLine(match.Groups["filename"].Value);
                  }
            }
       }

   }
