The "PRAGMA mmap_size" command sets the operating-system interface
into a mode so that at calls mmap() to read content from disk rather
than calling read().  It is often faster to use mmap() because that
avoids having to copy content from kernel space into user space.

However, mmap() mode only works if the database is reading exactly the
same content as is present on disk.  In the case of ZIPVFS, the
content on disk is compressed and encryption.  The content on disk is
different from the content used by the database engine.  The content
has to be converted when moving from disk into the application and
when moving from the application to the disk.  Because the content in
the application is different from the content on disk, mmap() won't
work.  And so when using ZIPVFS, the "PRAGMA mmap_size=NNN" command is
a no-op.
