Look into running your zip process on another thread. You'd have to move the code to a new class that is runnable (better encapsulation is a free benefit) and start it. Then your zip class can call SwingUtilities.invokeLater() or invokeAndWait() with progress updates. These accept yet another runnable object, and run the object back on the original Swing thread.
All this allows the Swing thread to accept mouse gestures and keystrokes or update visual goodies like your progress bar while your zip is running.
Hope that helps!
