There are many factors and opinions on this issue.
I try to make sure that my MSI projects can build incrementally (if nothing

I use MSBuild command line scripts (customized with ITask and Targets) to do

You can add a zip file and unzip using a custom action but remember that the
MSI will not uninstall all the files that were unzipped.(only the .zip file
will be deleted )
You will have to write a Custom Action to delete that also.

If you're creating a database using script, I would recommend a separate
component with a sql:SqlDatabase element wrapped around the sql:SqlScript

have to do this in a Custom Action as there are other things to do as the
