As I suggested before, I don't really think this is a Mac problem. I  
think you should be looking for solutions that involve creating  
Windows capabilities to handle the deficient compressed file format  
processing. WinZip is not a free program, but perhaps the Win-GNU  
facilities would be available. Have you gone through the process of  
installing Murdoch's Rtools suite on your virtualized Windows?
