Does a flip effect activate when the monster is destroyed by the effect of another monster?
Flip effects will activate if flipped manually by Flip Summon, or when attacked. Also must include "FLIP" in all caps for its effect to activate, or say 'when this card is turned face-up'. For example if a monster such as Guardian Sphinx is flipped face up by an attack or an effect (spell, trap or monster), the effect does not activate, because only a Flip Summon triggers it, not a generic flip. When a card effect destroys a face-down monster, the monster is destroyed and flip effect isn't activated because the monster never flips. Mystic Swordsman Lvl. 4 destroys the monster it attacks without flipping it, so a Flip Effect monster attacked by it will not get its flip effect.
To summarize, if a FLIP effect monster is attacked while face down, then it will activate. But if it's destroyed by a card effect while face down then it won't activate. Some card effects let you flip monsters face up and let the flip effect activate, like book of taiyou. But others, like ceasefire don't let it activate. If it says 'when this card is flipped face up' then you have to do that manually on your own turn.

No part of Zubaba Knight negates effects but since it destroys the monster at the start of the Damage Step it might mean that some monster effects would be unable to activate.

Many monsters with effects that happen during or after Damage Calculation will never activate because the damage step will end as soon as it starts.

Can you combo Kickfire's effect with Spiritual Fire Art Kurenai's effect in Yu-Gi-Oh?
No, there is no synergy. Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai tributes a monster as a cost. Tributed monsters do not count as being 'destroyed', effects that trigger from monster destruction will not activate when a monster is tributed. In the case of Kickfire, you would not be able to place a counter on it, as the FIRE monster was not destroyed.
