SEA's ARC is available for OS/2; their BBS data line is +1.201.473.1991.

PKWare's ZIP is available for OS/2; their BBS data line is +1.414.352.7176.

I haven't seen Rahul Dhesi's ZIP for OS/2. I dug up the code to BOOZ
(bare-bones ZOO extractor) and have that running under OS/2, but I
can't find where I placed the ZOO sources to get that running under
OS/2. I seem to recall that Rahul addressed many portability issues
nicely in that code, so it should not be that difficult to get running.

Related to this list of archivers, I got PAX (the CPIO/TAR replacement) up 
and running under OS/2 with no problems.
