I use 7ZIP for archiving, and I just leave the compression setting at "Normal".

I think that we have a bit of mis-communication here.
EPUB is, in fact, a ZIP file already. It just has it's extension name changed to EPUB. You can open an EPUB archive with a tool like 7ZIP. I was referring to FB2 files and the fact that they can also be ZIPed using filename.fb2.zip. It would be pointless to ZIP an EPUB file since it is already a ZIP file. I just buy books in EPUB format and then convert them to FB2 format to help future proof them, and to enjoy the benefits of open source book reading programs.

Lastly, TTS is not file format related, it is reading software related. ADE supports TTS, while CoolReader does not currently do TTS. If you use the filename.epub.fb2 trick, you will not have TTS available in the current CoolReader.
