See Explode and Implode an ePub?, where it was rightly pointed out that it isn't clear why an ePub reader would care much about the ZIP details. But in fact they do - see DE upgrade ePub problems, #21. There may be room for extra computer processing to get better compression, but the compression format must be the ZIP standard and the file mimetype must be first and must not be compressed.
