As workaround I'm simply use BackupPC_zipCreate from 3.0.0 with BackupPC 3.1.0.
It uses $Conf{ClientCharset} and work with CGI interface.
But problem is deeper.

I tried different archivers for archive browsing. Some archivers displays
national characters correctly when zip was created by BackupPC_zipCreate with
one encoding, but other archivers - with other one.
But I never had seen that behavior with conventional zip-files.
