Yes, I understand. What I'm suggesting is thinking about it from the opposite direction; instead of editing the files in the zip file, only edit them in Calibre. After you import the zip file treat the files in Calibre as the masters, not the ones in the zip file. Calibre has a very competent editor and a live updating preview window. Keep the zip file as a backup in case things go wrong with Calibre and you need to start over.
