Well... in some environments (b.e. opencourseware), where DSPACE can be useful as content-repository, ZIP-filing is a rather standard way of packaging files (LOM packages, IMS packages....). But, as you point, since a zip file can contain any other content, media-filtering is problematic. But I Think that content search based on metadata and collection-structure, not in full-text extraction, would be preferable in those scenarios.

People ask about filtering .zip files from time to time.  Given that a
.zip archive can contain an arbitrary number of files in an arbitrary
hierarchial directory structure, of arbitrary types, with arbitrary
relationships among them (including none whatever), with possibly no
file distinguished in any obvious way, I'm curious:  what do you think
a .zip filter would do?
