I see. I guess you were a VMS or some mainframe user...
As for apt-zip:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=apt-zip
It seems somewhat stalled. You may wish to takeover project to update
it to be compatible with current apt repository. The last update was
2008.
There is also apt-offline, which I think is still being maintained.

I have used it successfully in the past.
