I successfully zipped a 4.7GB file (in USS).

Also, I know it was mentioned by Timothy earlier that it may be possible to read directly from MVS files using "//" syntax.
I tried it using :
/u/userid/zip31b: >zip -av -1 /tmp/BIG_FILE.zip //userid.BIG.FILE
& got
Translating to ASCII...
zip warning: name not matched: //userid.BIG.FILE
zip error: Nothing to do! (BIG_FILE.ZIP)
Not sure if I got the syntax correct or if its just not build for MVS style
dataset input.
Bob, please let me if you managed to get the -D_LARGE_FILE support working for
cmsmvs/mvs.mki makefile
I tried to following your descriptions for the changes on this, but I still get "zip
error: Not supported (LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT enabled but OS not supporting it)."
Thanks for all assistance thus far,
Vikesh

You might try double quotes around the file name construct,
with single quotes embedded to prevent prefixing; so:
/u/userid/zip31b: >zip -av -1 /tmp/BIG_FILE.zip "//'userid.BIG.FILE'"
