".z" (more correctly ".Z") is not a ZIP file. The ".Z" file extension is used for files created with the unix "compress" utility. Unlike ZIP files, compressed files don't have directories in them.

One way to read a ".Z" file is to pipe it through the uncompress program first, but you can also use the compress library.
