In my setup the variable auto-mode-alist says that ZIP files are
handled by archive-mode. This is defined in arc-mode.el. Right at
the top of that file is a table that indicates that viewing is an
*internal* operation for all archive file types. So Emacs does
actually need to read the file to interpret it.
I haven't found a way to use external tools instead in arc-mode.el.
Sorry, benny
