Calibre zips up html files, because most of them have multiple files (images, etc.)
Remember, Calibre works on the 'logical book' idea -- whatever you enter, you end up with a sort of virtual entry in the database. You could delete the zipped html and still have an entry.
Export it (save to disk), or send it to your device and it will come out in the format that you've selected in preferences.
