Best to open/save the updated epub afterward, with an editor that knows exactly how epub archives need to be constructed (like calibre's editor or Sigil) to be safe.
But otherwise, yes... I use 7-Zip in the manner you describe all the time.

Just tell Windows that EPUBs can be opened with WinRAR via explorer's Open With.
You open and edit files from within archive using the OS default handler for the file type, e.g.Notepad++, Vi, TextMate for XHTML; IrfanView, Gimp, Preview for JPEG - etc etc. If you save the file, WinRAR asks if you want to replace the file in the archive.
Not sure if you can edit non-text files in 7zip, I have a historical aversion to it so I don't have it installed.
