Note this part:

  revert-buffer-with-coding-system(utf-8-unix)
  editorconfig-set-coding-system-revert("lf" "utf-8")
  editorconfig-apply()
  editorconfig-mode-apply()
  run-hooks(change-major-mode-after-body-hook after-change-major-mode-hook)

This is probably the root cause: that editorconfig package forced
Emacs to visit the archive using UTF-8 encoding, which is a bad idea,
since ZIP archives must be visited without any coding conversions, as
raw bytes.
