Thanks.  According to this, Emacs says "(New file)" when you type RET
on a file name from the archive.  Which probably means Emacs doesn't
recognize the file-name encoding in the archive, because it works for
me on GNU/Linux.  I'm guessing that this is some issue with encoding
file names (perhaps specific to macOS) according to the locale, and
how we decode file names we see in ZIP archives.  What are the values
of the following variables in your Emacs session?

   file-name-coding-system
   default-file-name-coding-system
   locale-coding-system
