There is code in contrib/infback9 of the zlib source distribution that
implements deflate64, with a comment of:

   This header file and associated patches provide a decoder for
   PKWare's undocumented deflate64 compression method (method 9).  Use
   with infback9.c, inftree9.h, inftree9.c, and inffix9.h.  These
   patches are not supported.

I've sent a mail to the zlib maintainers asking if there's any chance
this will be supported in the future, so we'll see what they say.

Cheers,
Dave
