You probably saw my posting which mentioned the Info-ZIP mailing list
at WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL.  That group has a portable UNZIP and is now
Beta testing a portable ZIP - both written in C.

The latest public release of the portable UNZIP is in the 
pd3:<misc.unix> directory.  The file name is UNZIP400.TAR-Z which
is a compressed Unix tar file.  Be sure to use binary or tenex mode
when getting this file with FTP.

To have your name added to the mailing list, send a message to
Info-ZIP-Request@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL.
