You need to say

  C-x RET c no-conversion RET RET

to open such files from a zip archive.

Determining the right coding system when opening files from ZIP
archives is a tricky issue, and frequently needs forcing a certain
encoding manually.  I don't know how to do better in general, what
with all the possible sources of the files and their encodings.  A Zip
archive can include files from Unix systems or from Windows, and we
unzip by running the 'unzip' program.  So the usual defaults for
guessing the encoding don't really work.
