I just tested on 10.3, and was able to zip files, and unzip them on
Windows XP Pro. I suspect that the Finder's "Create Archive" function
is just a wrapper for zip or gzip commands, both of which create
"standard" zip files. Technically speaking there is no zip standard,
one has never been published.

Take care with OSX archiving as it is a proprietary format which I do
not think works when you try to decompress under another OS !

Just discovered I can zip Mac files using the built-in 'Create
Archive' function.

Reacquainting myself with the Mac environment is fun!
