It's presumably not a coincidence that 2Gb is the largest file size (count of bytes) that can be represented in a signed 32-bit integer. For Zips, as far as I know, the standard format is based around unsigned 32-bit values - the largest a Zip file (or any member file) is 4Gb. There is an extended 64-bit format that eliminates those restrictions (and the limit of 65,535 member files per zip), but I'm not sure how widespread the support for that is.
