I enabled karmic-proposed and ran a Software Update.
I can confirm that after the update, I am able to install new themes in
Wordpress without getting the "Abort class-pclzip.php : Missing zlib
extensions" error message.

zlib extension missing in php5 karmic

Till,
I'm running the 32-bit (i386) edition of Ubuntu 9.10 Beta (Desktop)
I ran the short var_dump() script you suggested, and it returned
"bool(false)"
But php -m returns:
[PHP Modules]
bcmath
bz2
calendar
ctype
date
dba
dom
exif
filter
ftp
gd
gettext
hash
iconv
json
libxml
mbstring
mcrypt
mim
I'm also getting the error message "Abort class-pclzip.php : Missing
zlib extensions" when I try to install new themes in Wordpress 2.8.4.
I'm on Ubuntu Karmic Beta 1.
I don't know if it's a problem with zlib1g or php5-zlib. I seem to be
missing zlib.so but don't know where to get it.
