To me it sounds like you might have some sort of problem with your  
OS, or with the contents of your HD. First off, try to run a HD  
utility to look for problems there. Failing that I would consider re- 
installing the OS (or at least verify if I could reproduce the  
problems while booted into some OS partition, or on some other machine).

As this is the first time I've heard about problems with the zip  
archives created from the Finder, I don't think that's a constructive  
way to approach the problem.
