I had tried that also. I am unable to get this to work with MapServer
7.0.1 (MS4W 3.1.4). No problems with ogrinfo.

You need to include the name of the shapefile in the DATA statement, eg

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] zipped shapefile
I'm also unable to get this to work. I agree that it should (with the
layer specified in the "DATA" statement), but I can't seem to get
MapServer 7.0.1 to draw a map. The error message is quite generic:
OGROpen(/vsizip/test.zip)
msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. Open failed for OGR connection in layer
'test'. File not found or unsupported format.
I believe you have found a nice enhancement. I think you should file
this in the issue tracker: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues

Hi,
I have a bunch of shapefiles in zip format for disk space reasons. And I
want to be able to server their contents with mapserver. Is this
possible?
I was thinking that I could use CONNECTIONTYPE OGR. And then, since
gdal/ogr
can read a zipped data source (per
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/UserDocs/ReadInZip), this would enable
mapserver to serve such a data source. However, I am not having much
luck,
and I don't know if this is even supported in mapserver.
My layer definition is:
LAYER
NAME "my_shapefile"
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "/vsizip/path/to/file.zip"
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS ON
END
