That sounds like you need to have fetched the whole zip before you can unzip it - which is not what one wants when making "virtual tarfiles" which only exist in a pipe. (i.e. you're packing files in at one end of the pipe and unpacking them at the other)

Just fseek to the end.

Zip format was not designed for piping.
