Now, to answer your question: according to their website, WinZip starting with
version 12 supports creating ZIP archives with LZMA compression - but, of
course, to unpack them you need an archiving tool that can understand such ZIP
files. It's likely that such software is even more rare that 7-Zip itself, and
will result in more confusion ("Why can't I open this ZIP file? I can open any
other ZIP file but not this one...").
I understand that issue. The idea is to support it, at least for unzipping, in
all new versions, and gradually that support will filter out into the community.
