You can install Virtualbox in Windows32 and then inside the virtualbox you can use Ubuntu OS and inside it you can run cpu miner.

Zcash is only programmed for 64 bit linux systems, some have ported it to work on Windows systems but you have to manually assemble it and it needs to also be a 64bit system. 32 bit is not supported at this time.
