it was already discussed on the forum. Of course i would like to have zip format, but it's not that easy. HFS requires archives to be "streams" and "seekable", and that's not easy to make or find.
Don't worry if it can't be done, it was only an idea.

Anyway, I found out that you don't need complex libraries to add .zip support, since Windows can make zip files natively. Using a simple VBS Script, you can make a zip file directly without using any external app. I'm attaching a file about this (to test it, unzip the attachment in "C:\", then make the folder "Test" in "C:\", and put some files to compress there, and the run "MakingZipFile.bat"). Voila!, Windows will make the zip file (C:\SomeArchive.zip). Perhaps this can be useful to HFS in some way...
