The problem is almost definitely related to the unzipper. I have a similar problem with Tomcat: Tomcat is unable to extract files that have ISO-8859-1 encoding for filenames, forcing me to use WinZip for extraction of web archives. If I use UTF-8 encoding, I can extract the files with Tomcat, but not with Winzip.
On the background: The Zip "standard" has never specified how to handle encoding of file names. As a consequence, anyone chooses his preferred way of file name encoding. For example, the java.uzil.zip classes will *always* use UTF-8 (see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4244499). WinZip will *always* use the default encoding, which depends on the Locale. I have no idea, what unzipper does, but it seems to have yet another style.
