Well, there is a link to get a zip from branch (https://github.com/phylogeography/SPREAD/zipball/master)
but issue will be versionning.
On github, I see no branch nor tag.
To get a "release" you would need one or the other. For a watch file I guess you could look at branches and get zip link for the branch, if any existed....
For tags, you could get a get-orig-source cloning the repository and do a checkout on latest tag, but again none exists for the moment.
So I think that your first problem is to get upstream a clear versioning with branch/tag in their repo.
