In case anyone out there actually does have to handle zip archives:

The QuaZIP project (http://quazip.sourceforge.net/) provides a Qt 
interface to zip and unzip archives.  This is what I'm currently using 
in my epub reader.  (Epubs are just glorified zip archives.)

There are also several pure-Javascript zip libraries out there.  
However, they are targeted for the browser JS environment, not the more 
limited QML JS environment.  I did get JSZip 
(http://stuk.github.io/jszip/) working with QML before (details: 
http://rschroll.github.io/beru/2013/08/16/javascript-libraries.html), 
but it was slow and occasionally buggy.
