The mimetype HAS to be the first file and HAS to be stored uncompressed.
An EPUB is just a zipped file with certain files and directories in it. How in the world do I force the mimetype file to not be compressed and be the first file using 7zip?

Why would the creators of EPUB even ask for something bizarre like that? There should be a mimetype file in there, and the EPUB validator should find it regardless of what physical order it has in the zip/epub file. Can someone help me understand?

Try FlightCrew, which is usually a lot more clear about your actual problem.
Is Flightcrew free?
