Confirmed here. From one of my ZIP disks:
blade ttyp1 /dos/zip% ls -l
total 49138
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 199375 Aug 16 1995 C-Show Version 874.zip*
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Sep 3 1995 EGA Star Trek/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Sep 1 1995 Math Cad/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Sep 3 1995 Norton Utilities 7/
[ among others ]
These are exactly what I named them in windows 95 ..
Seems to me the support is already there.
Cheers,
Phil
