Ok, here's what I am doing right now:

1) I did a bash script that does the mounting (create folder in
/Volumes, call fuse-zip)
2) Used Platypus[1] to pack it into a droplet app
3) Changed zip associations to my app
4) ...
5) Profit

I noticed that the Finder actually shows the mount points inside your
computer icon in the Devices list, although named in a rather generic
fashion, ie: "MacFUSE Volume 1 (fuse-zip)" and so on.

I'm still seeking advice on having the icons actually display on the
Devices list and Desktop to make it easier to eject them, and also on
how to change the naming scheme for the devices.
