The doc in the package says this is:
Simple set of functions to create a zipfile
what we need is a way to get a single file out of a zip file, hopefully efficiently. This way we can have zip files on our filesystem and then offer the zip file and links to the files inside. (our files are large, often 1GB so it would be handy if this did not scan the whole file each time, but would jump to the right place).

I'm looking for a proper way of dealing with large zipfiles. However, with school and everything, this is not always possible. I did come up with some ideas, please be patient while I try to implement all that.
On http://www.php.net/manual/nl/ref.zip.php there is an explanation of how to read zipfiles alternatively if you compile PHP with Zip support (or add php_zip.dll to the list of extensions). I think that that is the most efficient way for now to read zipfiles.
