If you could be sure that each and every .zip file contained only files of a
single, known MIME-type then this should be straightforward using the
'unzip' utility as an external converter, with the -c or -p option to send
the contents to STDOUT.
In the general case, I think it would be wiser to settle for zipinfo as an
external converter. This would allow you to index the names of the files in
the .zip file, plus any comments included in the zip. I considered this
myself,
but decided not to index .zip files atall: my argument was that searchers
could find the page containing a link to a .zip file, which was probably
more use to them.
