I had a similar problem with zip.  Turned out I needed to specify the
"-V" command line option to save VMS file attribs.   The V is upper case
and the double quoutes must be specified as part of the option.  Tried
zipping and unzipping the qkgo files for one of our test systems and it
worked fine.  

The zip program: 
Copyright (C) 1990-1993 Mark Adler, Richard B. Wales, Jean-loup Gailly 
and Igor Mandrichenko. Type 'zip "-L"' for software license. 
Zip 2.0 (Sept 7th 1993). Usage: 

The unzip program: 
UnZip 5.1 of 7 February 1994, by Info-ZIP.  Portions (c) 1989 by S. H.
Smith.
