We don't update the zip installers as that would be extra work. The idea is that once you've installed from a zip install, you can then use pacman to update the base library, addons, and the JE binary.
If you do the zip install, the final steps will update the JE to the latest suitable for your platform. The zip install will always have a non-avx version that is perhaps back level.
