The app GoodReader (I don't know if there are any free apps that can also do it) can be used to zip and unzip email attachments

  1. press and hold the zip file in your email - after a couple of seconds you should get a popup, with one option being 'Open in GoodReader' which you should select
  2. GoodReader should then open with the zip file listed under My Documents
  3. select Manage Files on the right-hand side of GoodReader, select the zip file, and touch the Unzip button that appears on the right


You should also be able to download zip files directly into GoodReader by typing the URL in its Wed Downloads sectio.
