When you try to convert the contents of your ZIP file pay attention to the encoding setting in the conversion dialogs. Many encoding schemes are referred to as "code pages" and are often listed as "cp1252" or other numbers.
Zip is not a book format so it is hard to give advice. If this zip file is html then the encoding has to be entered in the HTML to Zip file type plugin prior to the book being added to calibre. Read #2 in this section of the manual. If it isn't html then follow #1 in that section per dwig's suggestion.
