I don't know the exact details on how the zip format works, but I have an application that uses the fact that files can be streamed into a zip archive without knowing the file size in advance. This can be simulated with the following command:
$ echo test | zip test.zip -
This creates a file test.zip
containing a file -
:
$ unzip -lv test.zip -
Archive: test.zip
Length Method Size Cmpr Date Time CRC-32 Name

The archive can be extracted using unzip
but not with xarchiver, i.e. it is stuck in "Opening archive, please wait..."
