Can Calibre convert an epub (or other formats) inside a RAR file to a normal epub file outside the RAR? If so this would satisfy my main requirement as I could specify a RAR to Epub conversion. I tend to associate ZIP files with HTML books which is why I mentioned RAR rather than ZIP. If the answer is yes, then perhaps all I need is a way in the Calibre GUI to insert a particular format into the RAR file to give me most of what I want. It also sounds as if it might be much easier to do.

Thinking about the GUI implications it could be a button on the Metadata Editor where one highlighted a particular format and then hit the "Convert to RAR" button?
