qDir.setNameFilters(slFilters);
QFileInfoList lFileInfo = qDir.entryInfoList();@

Documentation states, that ::setNameFilters() understands wildcards, not full regular expressions.

So, pass QString("Exc?.zip") to qDir.setNameFilters(), and then filter out files you need manually using QRegExp.

You are making it way to difficult. You are trying to use a full-blown regular expression, but QDir only understands simply wildcard matching:

@
QStringList filter;
if(sTenThuMuc == "Challenge")
{
filter << "Exc?.zip";
}
else if(sTenThuMuc == "HangMan")
{
filter << "hangman*.zip";
}

// use the filter
slFilters << sFilter;
qDir.setNameFilters(filters);
QFileInfoList lFileInfo = qDir.entryInfoList();
//check if the returned file names actually match what you were after, because the filter matches more than just numbers at the wildcard positions!
